Dear Alchemy Software,
every other CAT application has the translation to the right (or below) the original, not to the left (or above). This view is completely against the natural flow (unless you're translating Hebrew or Arabic, of course) and is horribly distracting and confusing.
The idea of your product is a good one (being able to see the actual dialog boxes/menus you're translating and resize buttons etc.) but every other bit needs some decent work to make it user-friendly and actually workable.
No love,
Karohemd
