At Trados we love languages and want to support those who choose to use their love of language as the foundation of their career. As a language student you are at the very beginning of an exciting journey.
You will have many choices to make as you go through your course, and one of those choices is likely to be whether you choose to study translation. If you do, then the adventure starts here!
You may be wondering why you need to use a translation tool at all? As you progress through your linguists course you will have many opportunities to translate texts that you have taken much time and care over. Imagine being able to store those translations, use them again and even improve on them if the need arises. Trados Studio allows you to do just that. You'll be able to recall past translations and re-use them meaning you never lose any of your valuable work.
The component within Trados Studio that stores your translations is called the translation memory (TM). During your studies you will learn that a TM is a valuable asset for a translator that ensures that you never have to translate the same content twice. Trados Studio gives you the flexibility to create as many TMs as you wish, for instance, to use with specific languages, industries or future clients. You may even be able to work on building your first translation memory which you can take with you from student to translation professional.
"For me improving my productivity is one of the most important aspects of investing in a CAT tool. When the text I am translating has repeating phrases or if I translate similar texts all the time, Trados can save time by offering exact or similar matches from translation memories. It makes collaborating easier when I share translation memory with a fellow translator and the results are more cohesive."
Wenxue Li – student at University of East Anglia
"Trados is an amazing CAT tool for translation. It has a user-friendly interface, and its ‘Tell Me’ feature helps to quickly access other Trados features. The MultiTerm and translation memory features available in Trados makes translation easier and faster. I strongly recommend Trados to all professional translators."
