About Trados

Translation software from RWS, available as a desktop CAT tool and as a cloud platform for managing projects and memories.

Trados is the translation software line from RWS. Trados Studio is the desktop CAT tool that many freelance translators and agencies use, with translation memory, termbases through MultiTerm, quality checks and support for a long list of file formats. Trados Enterprise and the cloud platform add project management, workflows and shared resources for teams.

Machine translation plugs in through RWS Language Weaver and through connectors to other engines, and newer versions add generative AI features for tasks such as rewriting and terminology help inside the editor.

Language service providers and in-house translation teams often adopt it because so many translators already know Studio and its file formats are common in the industry. If you are a buyer rather than a translator, check whether you need the desktop tool, the cloud platform or both, and which roles in your team need a license.
