TOOLS
I utilize
a variety of advanced translation tools in order to reduce cost and to provide
consistent translations that reflect the proper terminology applicable for
my clients. Some examples of the tools I use include:
· SDL Trados 2006 Freelance
· SDLx
· MultiTerm
· Trados GXT These
tools are NOT what is commonly known as “automatic translation”
or “machine translation” software. Such software is still
insufficiently developed for most translation work, particularly for technical
and business documents. Instead, the tools I use assist the translator
by matching the segments (e.g. a sentence) of the text to be translated
against already translated text stored. This results in a more consistent
end product and helps speed up the translation process thus saving time
and money.
