I want to offer translation service. What software should I use for making translations of documents?

I'm looking for a software which I can use for translating documents. Something that will show me the two languages side-by-side and will allow me to post comments around certain words/sentences. Any suggestions?I want to offer translation service. What software should I use for making translations of documents?While this software won't do exactly what you are wanting it to, most translators use something called Trados. You will not be able to open up documents side by side, but what it will do is automatically translate some of the most common words using what is called a translation memory.



Working for a company that provides translation services, I can tell you that most of our linguists use either MS Word or MS Excel in a table format to work on a document.
