SDL Trados Studio enables organizations to effectively manage all aspects of translation projects. SDL Trados Studio incorporates project management and computer-aided translation (CAT) tools for use by project managers, translators, editors, proofreaders and other language professionals. These are presented in easy-to-use views which you can arrange to look and work the way that you prefer.
SDL Trados Studio functionality is accessed through these views:
The Home view is where you can get started with quick links that enable you to access frequently used functions. It gives you direct access to the functions for opening a document or package or creating a project. It also allows you to check out the latest SDL Trados news and information on the latest product releases.
The Projects view is where translation projects are created, tracked and managed. You can select a project to view detailed project and file information and track project and file status.
The Files view contains all of the functions you need for managing files and opening them for translation.
The Reports view is where you view project reports. The reports provide detailed translation analysis figures which feed directly into the project planning and budgeting process.
The Editor view is where documents are translated and reviewed. SDL Trados Studio helps you to translate efficiently and consistently by leveraging existing translations from translation memories. SDL Trados Studio also captures new translations as they are created and can either add these to an existing translation memory or create a new one.
The translation environment is bilingual; source language segments and the segment translations are displayed side by side in a single editor screen. Text is displayed in WYSIWYG format so you can easily see whether formatting has been applied correctly. You can apply formatting, insert tags and special characters from a toolbar and you can preview the translation in real-time in the Preview window.
In the Translation Memories view you can create and manage local translation memories. You can import translation memory entries and maintain translation memories.
