WFC never "came with" Wordfast Server...


No, you're right, strictly speaking. "Note that Wordfast server, a free add-on to Wordfast, can add another 5-million TU capacity", so it's a free add-on and thus comes "with" WFC, but you won't get it "with" WFC if you just get WFC.

Wordfast Server is still available, although it is not primarily intended for local use with a single copy of WFC...


But you can run it as a single user, can't you? The "demo" mode restricts it to three connections, and a single user will use up only one connection, am I right? The server allows users to consult multiple TMs and glossaries at the same time, is that correct?

When you apply a filter in OmegaT, the result is displayed in the Editor, which is the main window.


You're right.

Your best bet would be to try it, if you have a need for it.

I don't have a need for it, but the original query that prompted this subthread was whether certain Word-based CAT tools (and in particular WFC) can access multiple, large TMs or not. If WFS can be used by a single user, then the answer for WFC is: yes.
