Hello guys,
I am also in the need of a modern tool, with which I could translate Transit NXT files. I also heard news about the new Trados Studio, that it will be able to import and export Transit files. I think it would be a great advantage for SDL users. Unfortunately agencies still using Transit stick to this tool but I am not willing to invest into a tool, which is not up-to-date and expensive.
So far I was forced to use MemoQ for the translation of Transit files. However I bought licences for SDL Studio 2011 so it would be more convenient for me to localize Transit files directly in Trados.
Actually now I am in trouble as my MemoQ licence is not valid anymore but would have to deliver another Transit project. I thought this Open Exchange App is ready by now, have been searching for it for hours, but just found this forum and saw that it has not been launched yet. That's a pity...
I have to find out a solution for this project.
Anyway, I really hope that SDL will launch this App very soon!

Hi Tamás,
CafeTran can handle Transit files (and many other types, including Studio files). In the words of Hans Lenting (enthusiastic CafeTran user and former Transit user): ‘CafeTran's handling of Transit's language pairs is even better than that of Transit itself.’

CafeTran runs on OS X, Windows and Linux, has more editing features than most of the so-called industry leading CAT tools and costs only €80, so it might be worth looking into. You can also ask any questions you might have, about Transit files or anything else, in the ‘CafeTranslators’ Google group: [url removed] #!forum/cafetranslators
