OBJECTIVES:
• To demonstrate what Trados does and doesn’t do.
• To explain the translation process using Trados.
• To teach how to use the basic functions of Trados Workbench.
• To discuss the translator-Trados-client relationship, incl. Trados rates.
…in other words: To get you up and translating with Trados, and to feel good about it!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
• Those who have been thinking about purchasing Trados.
• Those who already own Trados but have been too afraid to start using it.
• Those who have used Trados on a few projects but feel that they are not aware of or don’t know how to use all the basic features and possibilities Trados Workbench offers.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
• Since this is only a 4-hour basic course, we will NOT cover the use of Tag Editor, WinAlign, MultiTerm and some other more advanced features of the Trados package.
WHAT IS REQUIRED?
• Since this is a HANDS-ON workshop, you need a laptop computer to get the full benefit of the course. However, you will likely find this workshop useful even if you come without a computer. Note that NCTA will NOT provide computers.
• You also need to have Trados (preferably version 6 or 7) and MS Word already installed before the workshop. Trados trial version is sufficient for the workshop, and can be downloaded free from http://www.translationzone.com/download.asp?menuItem=12 (“TRADOS 7 Trial Version” 120 MB). Note that Trados 7 requires MS Windows 2000 or later operating system and MS Word 2000 or later Office application level. Trados 6.5 requires MS Windows 98 SE or newer operating system and MS Word 97 or later Office application level.
