Hello,
At our company, we are wondering if there is another application that can handle InDesign files (INDD). We get a lot of jobs that use this format, and we are looking for a more cost-effective solution to Adobe's subscription service. Are there any other applications that could replace InDesign in this scenario? Is the switch worth it? I appreciate any input you can provide. Thanks!

We would need to be able to edit the files, too.

Thanks, John. But we'd need to be able to adjust the final files to make sure they are OK for delivery. That is useful to know, though. Thanks for that!

After 25+ years using Page Maker (InDesign's "father), I chose to serve with translation ALL DTP apps on PDF files (editable ones, of course). After all, a translator nowadays is not expected to create layouts, but merely restore them after shrinking/swelling caused by translation.
