3 Product Brief Reasons to Upgrade from SDL Trados Studio 2009 to SDL Trados Studio Crystal-clear reviewing Review is an important part of any translation process. With the latest version of Studio, reviewing is easier than ever before, while collaboration with subject matter experts, who might not be equipped with SDL Trados Studio, has also been simplified. Track changes in your translation SDL Trados Studio features full Track Changes capability. Any change within the target can be highlighted, accepted or rejected, making the review process among Studio users clearer and easier. You can also open Microsoft Word files which have tracked changes still activated. From a translator or reviewer point of view, this makes it really easy to show where the content differs from an old version. Leverage any Studio translation memory Get maximum leverage from your TM resources using any Studio translation memory for your project. No matter if you want to reverse the language direction of your translation memory or even combine a variety of source languages and translate into one target language, the new AnyTM feature enables you to do just that with the highest TM flexibility for your translation projects. The details matter A wide range of improvements are all aimed at accelerating translation and improving the user experience. This includes: Opening of Trados Word bilingual files using Microsoft Word spellcheck More comprehensive keyboard shortcuts More display filters to focus on reviewing and editing particular segments The ability to simulate the effects of translation on project files through pseudo-translate All of these updates contribute to the fastest possible translation while continuing to support users in delivering high-quality output. Review outside of Studio Some Reviewers are not Studio users and prefer to review in a Word bilingual file or even in the final target file. Translators can create a bilingual Word document for review within seconds. Reviewers can edit translations in Word using Track Changes and all the changes can be imported back and seen in Studio For reviewers who prefer to edit in the final target file, Studio supports that too. Any changes made on your translated, target document you can now automatically bring all the amends back to your translation memory. Translation quality assessment No matter what your translation workflow is, you can ensure smooth review process resulting in even better quality translations by measuring them the way you want. Organizations can measure and score the quality of their translations and translation suppliers, while translation suppliers can feedback on the translation errors their reviewers marked. Automatic error correction A spellchecker certainly helps, but it s not foolproof and mistakes can slip through the cracks. Enjoy a much faster and error-free typing process by eliminating the need to correct misspelled word as Studio 2015 does it automatically for you. It works just like the AutoCorrect feature in Microsoft Word.
