Anyone can tell me something about these 3: -Sisulizer -Visual Localize -Lingobit Thanks, SCPF 20 Nov 2009 18:16 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread8583msg189880.htm#189880 SCP Fans: Hi! I would like to know if the topic discussed here also applies to Software Translation. Because "Close" will always mean "Close", and if it appears 100 times, it doesn't make sense to translate it 100 times, does it? The question is, when doing work in Localizing ... 20 Nov 2009 17:09 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg189361.htm#189361 Stanislav Pokorny: Well, actually the official Czech SDL distributor sells Trados licenses at prices that are lower than the SDL price. For instance SDL Trados Studio Freelance Plus (two activations) are sold at CZK 9,700 (about € 390), VAT included. More info here: ... 12 Nov 2009 22:32 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg188577.htm#188577 Jeff Allen: Exactly the reason why when I develop dictionaries/glossaries that I run statistical cross checks of the term and its parts across the entire set of content to look for spelling variants, related terms, and terminology extensions which can be made from different word parts. For MT, this allows for ... 4 Nov 2009 20:54 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg188527.htm#188527 Hynek Palatin: Will, with a project of this size, even the most expensive CAT tool should pay off several times in much higher productivity. Besides, you can often buy these tools for less than the list price (special offers, group buys, etc.). Hynek 4 Nov 2009 13:31 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg188484.htm#188484 Derek Thornton: I found that the down side to adding terminology on-the-fly is that it does not guarantee consistency and the asker gave consistency of terminology as the main reason for using a CAT tool on this job. I would not expect that the 200,000 words are all on precisely the same subject - the complete ... 3 Nov 2009 18:43 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg188480.htm#188480 Jonathan Ellis: Will... So, you're thinking of joining the big league... ;-) I was encouraged to purchase Trados about five years ago by an agency that gave me a lot of work (and also arranged quite a large discount). After three years or so, I switched to MemoQ, which is now my CAT tool of choice. Without doubt, ... 3 Nov 2009 17:14 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg188475.htm#188475 Derek Thornton: The right time to start using a CAT tool is 3 - 6 months before you are given that 200,000-word project. No CAT tool is going to give you consistent terminology on its own, the work you put in compiling and maintaining the glossaries and the translation memory is the main component. When you start ... 3 Nov 2009 16:24 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread12184msg188463.htm#188463 Will Kelly: Hi Olly, Did you get Wordfast or Trados in the end? I have just been given a 200,000-word project and a CAT tool may be required for consistent terminology. Trados is prohibitively expensive, whereas Wordfast seems like a much cheaper option. 3 Nov 2009 15:30 GMT /cafe/MegaBBS/forumthread8583msg187447.htm#187447 Stanislav Pokorny: Hi Alexandra, your question is quite simple, the answer, unfortunately, not so much. In my experience, most agencies require Trados. Trados users are divided into two groups: the first one loves it, the second one hates it. Nevertheless, Trados is not a must. You can use mixed workflows to work on ... 22 Oct 2009 17:31 GMT
