Have you looked at the free/open-source solutions?

I haven't used any of these, but they might be worth at least checking out:
http://www.omegat.org/omegat/omegat.html (supposed to be quite good)
https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/
http://translatewrite.com/ooxlate.html
http://transolution.python-hosting.com/

And if they are missing features, sometimes it is cheaper to sponsor
the developer to write them than to pay for a single install license
of the commercial software....

Hope this helps,
   Alex.
