New to CafeTran Espresso? Start here — complete beginner's guide
Everything you need to get up and running, now in one place

Fellow translators,

If you've been curious about CafeTran Espresso but weren't sure where to begin, I've put together a comprehensive beginner's tutorial that walks you through everything from first launch to your first finished translation.

WHAT'S INSIDE
The tutorial covers the full beginner journey in plain language — no prior CAT tool experience needed.

- Setting up your workspace
- Importing and managing projects
- Working with translation memories
- Using the glossary effectively
- Auto-assembling matches
- QA and finalising your file
- Tips for a smooth workflow
- Common beginner pitfalls to avoid

CafeTran has a reputation for being powerful but a little daunting at first glance. This guide aims to change that — step by step, with screenshots and clear explanations, so you can feel confident and productive from day one.

Ready to brew your first translation?

Here's the complete beginner's tutorial as a PDF file:

Feel free to share it with colleagues who are considering making the switch. ▲ Collapse

Missing screenshots? Mar 9

Hi,

It seems to me that the PDF file doesn't contain any screenshots.

These are replaced with question marks against a blue background.

Was the PDF file supposed to initially have screenshots in it?

Hello Éric,

These will be added in the 2nd edition.

Until then, I hope that the first draft is useful.
