TRADOS Workshops in San Francisco – January 31, 2009

These workshops are meant for those who already know the very basics of Trados. During the workshops you will learn tips, tricks and features that will help you to use your Trados Workbench and TagEditor much more efficiently.
Become a happy Trados user instead of being a frustrated one!

NOTE: Both workshops will include some hands-on exercises, so bringing a laptop computer would help you to get the most out of the workshops. However, a computer is not a prerequisite to attend the workshops.

Advanced features of Trados – A Workshop for Trados Users

This presentation will introduce a variety of more advanced Trados Workbench features that will make your translation work more efficient.

• Learn how to set up a translation memory (e.g., use of Attribute Fields, Substitutions, Penalties, Segmentation Rules).
• Learn how to use translation memories efficiently (e.g., use of Project and Filter Settings, Translation Memory Options, Concordance).
