I've always used Trados Studio with Parallels on a Mac (in my case, a MacBook Pro) and heartily recommend it. Best of both worlds. Using Studio on a Mac is no different from using it in a Windows environment, so use any Studio tutorial.

Hi Will!

I also use Trados Studio with Parallels. Now I have to change my Mac Pro (which is now 10 years old) and wonder if the fact that the new Parallels downloads Windows with ARM can affect the operation of Trados Studio 2024. I wouldn’t want to make an expensive purchase and then find out that Trados doesn’t work with the Windows used by Parallels. What version of Parallels and Trados Studio are you currently using?

My 2017 MBP is running Studio 2022 in Parallels Desktop 20. If I decided to continue in the translation game, I would get a juicy MB Air and continue with the latest Parallels that's made for the next MacOS Sequoia. I cannot imagine that Parallels will not continue being compaitble with Windows apps like Studio.

I can reassure you, Trados Studio works fine with all versions of Parallels, including the new ARM-based versions on Silicon-based Macs.

And the latest version 20 of Parallels even works fine on the latest MacBook Air M3 with Sequoia.

Parallels version 20 is already compatible with Sequoia.

Thank you so much, Will. Your opinion is really helpful!

Thank you so much, Walter. You’ve cleared up my last doubts about the purchase!
