Wordfast LLC is the world’s second largest provider of Translation Memory software solutions. The company was founded in 1999 and currently has over 13,000 active customer deployments in the marketplace. Founder and Chief Architect Yves Champollion continues to run day-to-day operations. Headquartered in Paris, France, Wordfast maintains a customer support center in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic and a business development office in Washington, DC, USA.
While more and more corporations and agencies are turning to Wordfast, we preserve our proud heritage of making software aimed at driving efficiency to the desktop of the end-user, the translator. Today's version of Wordfast is a collaborative effort of over seven years of field-testing with actual professional translators. Our development team, motivated by feedback from linguists, continues to work on maintaining the best TM solution available.
Consistent with our respect for the translation community and our desire to drive value to customers, the Wordfast price point is kept intentionally modest. Further, our development team has gone to great lengths to use truly open, non-proprietary formats, so that Translations Memory assets, glossaries, and other use standard tools, regardless of origin, can be easily shared and introduced into each customer's workflow.
Today, Wordfast has been featured in numerous publications and hailed to be the #1 Translations Memory solution by independent researchers on many key criteria. With a marketing budget a fraction of that of the industry leader, Wordfast has earned the #2 position in the market primarily by word-of-mouth. 13,000 customers later, the spirit of Wordfast is much the same as when the company began. Our founder, Yves Champollion, still drives the company's development philosophy and manages day-to-day operations.
