This morning I saw the translator recruiting info on proz. Submit my own bid. Then I visit ICENI website to check this software.

Need a little more time, to trial and review Infix Editor. ▲ Collapse

I fully recommend InFix, but good knowledge of formatting is a must in order to use it. ▲ Collapse
