RC-WinTrans can be used in conjunction with translation memory products from
SDL
and text file based RC-WinTrans dictionaries.
Translation memory (TM) use is fully integrated into RC-WinTrans via the add-on components described below. These add-ons allow access to a TM's
contents for finding and applying translations while working with RC-WinTrans. Further functionality for maintaining a TM's contents (adding, deleting,
and modifying entries) is also provided for SDL Trados TMs and for opening RC-WinTrans text file (.txt/.tmx) dictionaries to do the same.

translation memory file (.sdltm) from SDL Trados. The add-on connects with an SDL Trados TM to quickly and easily supply translations while
working with RC-WinTrans. With the TM Workbench a selected TM can also be expanded with new entries and updated by modifying or deleting texts.
Opened in its own window outside the main RC-WinTrans application, the TM Workbench has multiple display panels, including one listing the
TM's contents, another listing the results of a search, and two more comparing translation units (source and target texts) in the TM and in
RC-WinTrans.

Trados™ V3.0 through SDL Trados™ V7.5
Support for Trados TMs has been an important RC-WinTrans feature for nearly 15 years. The well-integrated solution has been very popular
with translators and localization professionals who have enjoyed and relied upon the tools' combined effectiveness.
Current support status: Versions 3.0 through 7.5 of Trados products are no longer offered by the manufacturer but are still supported by RC-WinTrans.
The current solution offered by Schaudin.com is the
