Hi Nanna,

Is "Tak" the correct way of saying "Thank you" in Danish? If so, then "Tak!!". In other words, many thanks for your friendly response to my -- hopefully -- helpful contribution to this forum.

Usually, I do not contribute that much to forums: I am usually very busy with translation, localization and technical authoring work, and have recently started co-operating with Graham on many things "terminological". (Wonderful experience, by the way. Graham is a fountain of knowledge, and I consider myself not exactly stupid...)

But to go back to the original issue: please do consider using CAT tools, but only if you have source material with a certain amount of repetition. If you are doing mainly literature translations or 'creative' work like PR and marketing, I sometimes doubt the effective use of CAT tools.

With best regards,

Nico.

Hi Graham,

I myself bought the Trados Studio 2009 version, but never installed it. I am afraid of relinquishing my "old" Suite licence. As long as I do not "return my [2007] licence", I feel safe. Until next Windows crash comes along, of course...

Will sign off now. Too late to talk sense. Feel like joining my wife and kids, and have a glass of wine. Sorry folks! Have nice weekend.

Best regards,

Nico.

PS Did you know that  "SDL" is actually part of a German car registration if that person lives in a certain German region? Have not yet come across "MMQ" or "DVX" ...

Don't trust all the rumors, Graham. I've been using Studio since the very early Beta stage, i.e. since March 2009. The first release from June 2009 was indeed riddled with various bugs, but SP1 issued in September 2009 resolved most of them. SP2 added some new filters and functionalities.

So far, so good. Studio has been performing pretty well. Ah, yes, I do have a comparison: I also use WF, MQ, TransitNXT, and Across.

But anyway, please don't hijack this topic to a which-cat-is-the-best debate. We've already seen plenty of that...
