Indeed. You can make CafeTran Espresso look more like a native Mac app:
- It's amazing how you can just peel and undock just about every pane and window off in the UI on CafeTran... but I found that the segments grid is kind of unstable when you're using dual displays (it sometimes takes several clicks, or a Command+click to activate the segment, and it often doesn't respond well in this scenario).
Are you referring to clicking on the blue segment number at the right hand of the target segments? I find that procedure difficult too. In the old days, if I remember correctly, the whole frame with the number could be clicked.
You can also type the segment number in the Quick search bar and hit Enter.
- The tag handling seems good (type the tag number and then Esc to "embed" the tag into the translation), but CafeTran seems to add a lot of unnecessary tags with one of the Word documents I'm doing (maybe it's converting tabs to tags or something like that).
I have quite the opposite impression: less tags than other CAT tools (better filter, tag grouping). Did you already try the Ms Word OCR filter?
- Glossaries are flexible, using basic text files.
True. And they can be as huge as you want.
- I still don't comprehend how multi-document projects are being handled in CafeTran... once you open your project from the "home page," I can't figure out how to get back there to work on your second document, or how to access the second document at all (meaning, how to escape from Editor view).

From the dialogue box, select the document that you want to edit:
