‘Your translation environment. Your SDL Trados Studio’.

A few words on Starter Edition...

Subscription-based low-cost version for 99 Euro/year

Freelancers using older SDL Trados software now have Starter Edition ready to use in their accounts for free

Starter Edition can be used to perform translation work sent through the supply chain without limitations

There is no limitation on the size or numbers of translation memories and termbases in a package

All package formats are supported: Studio, TeamWorks, WorldServer, TMS – including the bilingual file formats SDLXLIFF, TTX, ITD

Ideal starting point for working with Studio

Also includes "taster features" for your own small projects

Translate documents in Studio to see how it works

You can use small TMs to get to know the functionality

You can upgrade to the Freelance or Professional version at any time

... and on Open Exchange

Platform for developers and users who would like to extend the functionality of SDL products

Based on software development kits - interfaces for seamlessly integrating external tools and plug-ins

Sample applications:

SDL XLIFF Converter for Microsoft Office

• Breakthrough for review process using MS Word or Excel

• Facilitates the review process for users without Studio

TTX It! - batch conversion tool for creating TTX files

• Convert your files to TTX without having to know how this is done in SDL Trados 2007

• Useful for users who are still required to deliver the TTX format back to their customers

Many more utilities and file types planned

Reviewing Studio Files in Microsoft Office

How to support reviewers who prefer using Microsoft Word or Excel for reviewing Studio Translations

The Review Challenge and Solution

Some reviewers do not want to learn how to use Studio to review translations

They prefer using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel for reviewing

They want to make all kinds of review changes to translations in Word

• Change translations

• Add review comments, update existing comments

• Use Tracked Changes in Word to highlight their changes

BUT: this all needs to work with Studio's SDL XLIFF format!

• This format is very different from Word/Excel as it is a translation format vs. a word-processing/spreadsheet format

The breakthrough solution: SDL XLIFF Converter for Microsoft Office

FREE add-on to SDL Trados Studio 2009

Available soon on Open Exchange
