Overview
As much as translation technologies are tools to aid in translating texts, they are also the state of the art applications to manage voluminous multiple files projects and terminology databases. They are powerful devices that change the method professional translators work by providing them with a fully dedicated translation environment to not only translate and ensure the best quality of the translation product, but also to streamline and improve the complexities of voluminous translation projects management. Terminology management is another efficient add-on included in these applications to ensure consistency with the client's preferred terminology across all projects and improve the translation quality by reducing the possibility of choosing incorrect translations for specific terms.
The workshop explains how Trados Studio 2021 can be a very valuable application, especially as far as the language elements in the project and terminology management features are concerned. Such a value can be optimized depending on the expertise of translators and project managers using the Trados Studio and the MultiTerm 2021 applications. Knowing how to efficiently handle these tools turns them into an asset for professional translators and translation project managers.
