Overview

Translation technologies are tools to aid in translating texts; they are not replacements for human translators. They are helpful devices that can change the way we work, taking over tasks that are tedious and repetitive, and leaving to us what we do best, namely using our mental process to make wise decisions.

The SDL Trados Studio – Advanced workshop explains how CAT tools prove to be very valuable, especially as far as the project handling, terminology and post-editing elements are concerned. Such a value can be optimized depending on the expertise of translators and project managers in dealing with CAT tools. Knowing how to efficiently handle these tools turns them into an asset for professional translators and language service providers.

This workshop is designed for professional translators and translation studies students who have attended the introductory workshop, translating and reviewing files, and wish to dig deep into exploring advanced features of SDL Trados Studio with emphasis on best project-handling practices, terminology management and post-editing of  MT reproduced translations.
