Since the widespread adoption of CAT tools, their incompatibility has been causing translators and other service providers much headache. In this article we look at the subjects of interoperability and open standards to assess the current state of affairs. We compare a selection of CAT tools, both Free/Open Source (FOSS) and proprietary, in order to provide an at-a-glance view of the potential compatibility of a range of tools. We take this opportunity to invite you to share your experiences.
