Although Trados Studio is not officially supported on an Apple Mac computer, we have had many success stories from our users running Trados Studio software via Microsoft Windows on their Apple Macs.

Trados Studio will not install or run on the Apple Macs operating system - MAC OS X - directly. However, there are two solutions which will enable you to run Trados Studio using Microsoft Windows on an Apple Mac.

For each of these solutions a copy of Microsoft Windows will need to be purchased from an independent retailer or the Microsoft Windows store.

If you are a MAC user, please refer to the following information before installing Trados Studio:
