Heartsome Translation Studio 8.0 is the last CAT tool developed by Heartsome Technologies Ltd. It is now open-source and available for free. Its ease of use, scalability, portability, and stability place it among other industry-leading software. However, since it is now available for free, at a much better performance-price ratio. On the downside, you will have to deal with problems by yourself now since there is no support from Heartsome Technologies Ltd anymore. However, you might find help from other users or documents online. If you prefer a CAT tool that is still actively developed and comes with the proper support, then we recommend OmegaT, Smartcat, or MateCat.
Heartsome Translation Studio 8.0 supports various XML-based open standards. This includes XLIFF 1.2, on which its native file format is based, TMX (Translation Memory eXchange 1.4 and lower), and TBX (TermBase eXchange) exchange files, translation memories, and termbases. In addition, SRX (Segmentation Rules eXchange version 1.1 and lower) files and support for other XLIFF files from other CAT tools are supported.
Heartsome Translation Studio 8.0 provides a new integrated interface. As a result, you can complete the whole localization process in a single unified interface. The main interface provides multiple panels. You can drag and drop them to your favorite place and minimize and maximize them. In addition, you can switch between vertical and horizontal layouts.
