Starter and Express Editions

What you can do in Starter and Express

What you can do in Starter and Express varies depending on which workflow you are using. The following lists the key tasks that you can perform in each workflow. In addition to the workflow tasks, in Express you can run Studio as part of a domain-based corporate network and have use of unlimited languages.

Single-File Translation Workflow in Starter

You can perform the following actions when you are in a single-file translation workflow. A single-file translation workflow occurs when you open a single file for translation using the Translate Single Document command.

• Add a single file-based translation memory to use during translation (The size of the translation memory is limited depending on what your license specifies)

• Add and remove termbases for translation

• Edit translation units in a translation memory during translation

• Edit translation memory settings

• You can import and export translation memory data to or from a translation memory on the Translation Memory and Automated Translation page and in the Translate Single Document dialog box.

• Update the translation memory during translation

• Generate a translated document

See Single-File Translation Workflow for an example of a single-file translation workflow.
