Comparison with Trados and Déjà Vu

The biggest difference between Star and Trados and DéjàVu is that Star has no translation memory.When working with Trados or DéjàVu,the user will always build up the translation memory.During the translation,user can click"Set/Close Next Open/Get"in Trados translation workbench or"Add Pair to Translation Memory"in DéjàVu to send the translated sentence pair to the translation memory.In that case,translation memory is like a big storage,the more translation work the user does,the more translation units the memory has and large memory usually requires large storage space.However,Star develops a distinct function of alignment.With alignment,users can match source text and its corresponding target text as reference language pairs.This is a flexible solution of translation assistance,but it may not be as systematic as translation memory is.
