About the Workshop
SDL Trados Studio is a computer-assisted translation (CAT) software suite of programs. It is a powerful software system that is perhaps the industry standard among such programs to assist translators in producing consistent, high-quality translations, to pre-translate documents by re-using previous translations of the same content that have been stored in the translation memory, and to store translations of terminology and re-use them so consistent terminology can be used throughout all documents.
This short session will provide practical live demonstrations and hands-on practice on how to use this software to translate several similar documents, and to store terminology in the MultiTerm software program that is integrated with the main program.
This session is ideal for beginning translators, students or anyone who is interested in improving the quality of their translations by using a CAT software tool. Please, bring your laptop to the presentation if you have SDL Trados Studio installed or simply watch and learn. Please also bring 10 easy-to-translate sentences in your language pair so you can actually use SDL Trados to do some translating!
