Resources to translate through a server connection

Hi,
I was just wondering if somebody can help me: I sometimes work for a company directly through a server connection. Unfortunately they do not use any translation software so I would like to know if there is a tool which I can use myself online to translate just to avoid translating 100 times the same thing. I know that Matecat works for files and projects, but that is not my case.
Thank you in advance! Elisa

No experience, but

I've never worked with that type of setup myself, but can't you just copy the text for translation into a standard format such as Microsoft Word, do the translation with whatever CAT tools you see fit, and then copy or upload the translated work back into the system?

What are you editing/translating?

Elsia,
I don't understand your client's setup. You said, "directly through a server connection." Do they have a custom application that you use to connect to the server? Are you connecting to the back-end of something like Wordpress with a browser? Every server has a client. A browser is one kind of client. So, the answer to you question depends on what is the server and what kind of client does it expect?

What tool

In what program do you do the translation, then? Is this browser-based, or do you log in to their computer directly from your computer? If browser-based, what is the name of the system that they're using (if you are free to tell us)?
If there is no way for you to extract the source text to a file on your computer, then I think the only way to do what you're asking would be to use a typing assistant-like tool. But you need one that can capture more than just one word at a time. An old favourite is LetMeType. There are some paid tools out there but none very good.

Quite right. Put in other words: Where (client-side or server-side?) runs the editor software and what is the name/type of this editor?

MS Evernote (comes with Windows 10) is another possibility. ▲ Collapse
