| n |
New sentences in the source language can be compared against existing translation memory to take statistics of repetitive expressions or calculate expected translation volume and time required ?
It helps calculate accurate estimates and reduces costs. |
| 4. Supports special document file formats |
| n |

| n |
FrameMaker, Interleaf ?

Workflow |
The following is an illustration of the entire flow of translation using TRADOS.
You can click functions in the illustration to view details on the functions. |
TRADOS Translator's Workbench
Translator's Workbench stores a pair of an original sentence and a translated sentence one after another in a Translation Memory (TM) so that sentences translated before can be reused to improve translation efficiency.
For example, a pair of an English sentence and a Japanese sentence is automatically stored. When the same English sentence or a similar sentence is encountered, the stored pair is displayed so that the sentence can be reused.
|
 |
| n 1. Compare the original sentence and translated sentence displayed in Workbench. |
| n 2. Translated sentences are stored as an MS-Word document. |
|
 |
TRADOS MultiTerm
This translation support tool stores technical terms or user-defined terms so that the same, consistent terms can be used in a single document or throughout related documents.
This tool can also be used to extract all English sentences that contain certain terms stored in the tool from the past translation assets, and list the sentences.

|
Import/Export of TRADOS Translation Memory (TM)
|
| n Function to back up TM to a text file |
| n Function to load a backup text file into TM |
|

so that it can be used with Workbench.
WinAlign allows effective use of existing translation assets.
