What it is
Trados Studio is the dominant desktop CAT tool — most professional translators have used it. Subtitle file formats (SRT, VTT, STL) are supported alongside the standard TMX / XLIFF set.
Best for: Professional translators handling subtitle + voice-over scripts as part of broader translation projects.
Watch out for: Windows-only. AV support is file-format-level, not a media editor. Steep learning curve.
