Emma Goldsmith,

“Investing in Trados Studio and learning about its features has been one of the wisest business decisions in my career. I reap the benefits in every single job I do. Trados Studio is an essential part of my workflow. With Studio, I have everything I need: terminology consistency, reference to past jobs, faster typing and QA checking as I go. After using Trados Studio almost every day since its launch in 2009, I can assure you that it’s easy to use from scratch, but much more satisfying when you get to know all the ins and outs. Use it to translate a simple Word file straight out of the box or tweak a file type and customise the layout to achieve your very own Studio experience. Enjoy! “

Nora Diaz,

“I think the simplest reason to choose Studio is that it's a solid business decision. As a freelancer, if you want to play in the Big Leagues, you need Big League tools. Having Studio is a basic pre-requisite to be considered for jobs with many large clients, so Studio will open opportunities for you that you wouldn't have access to otherwise. Investing the time and money needed to own and become proficient in an industry-leading tool such as Studio tells potential customers that you take this profession seriously.”

"It just works miracles. When I find a term or a longer phrase in a sentence that I have translated before, it just extracts it and I can just click and insert it into the new sentence, so it does really speed up my work a lot."

Alexandros Tsouris,

"I was fascinated by the functionality of Trados Studio during our training sessions for the certification exams. However, I couldn't possibly comprehend the extent of its usefulness. Now that I have started working with Studio, I have seen a huge difference in my productivity! Spending some time to properly prepare a project, building relevant termbases, leveraging translation memories and aligning legacy documents to build new ones, have made me much faster and more efficient."
