I copied some articles from Wikipedia to a new Ms Word document:

Then I created a translation project with 980 segments.

I had to determine the exact number of segments, because in my first attempt I created a project with 1000 segments, based on this info:

Without a license file, the free copy of CafeTran Espresso that you download will run forever — but with the following limitations: You won’t be able to work with TM files that are larger than 1000 TU’s in size (in total), and you will not be able to make use of glossaries that are larger than 500 terms (in total).


1000 segments were too much:

When I clicked the Continue to use free version, with limits button, no segments were saved to the TM ... I had to lower the number of segments to 980. Then 980 segments were saved to the TM, though CafeTran Espresso indicated 971:

Have a look at the Ms Word document. I think that CafeTran Espresso's free mode is actually quite generous: 42 pages of text, 15 K words.
