Description
This session is intended for all those, who never tried to use Trados or have just started or feel lost when using it.

If you are already able to translate with Trados on your own in Word, the first part will still be interesting to you due to the usage of TagEditor.

After the training you should be able to use Trados to translate all formats your customer might ask you.

Please note, that you should be proficient with Windows, Word and other typical programs, because during the training there will be no time for explaining this. You must know how to create a folder, copy a file, rename it and so on.

Important information!
This training adresses SDL Trados 2007 Suite. You will need to bring your own laptop with installed software. During the training there will be no time for installation issues.

If you have any questions about it, please contact the trainer via his ProZ.com profile prior to the session. Please allow some reasonable time for answering your queries. Queries placed later than one week before the session may remain unanswered, sorry. Thank you for your understanding.
