Terminology Management with SDL Trados MultiTerm Presenter: Angelika Zerfass Cost: $149 Target Audience Translators who want to set up their own term base in MultiTerm. Project managers who want to learn what a term base for a customer/translator should look like. Synopsis Working with SDL Trados Translator's Workbench to save and reuse whole sentences is only one part of the translation process. Dictionaries, glossaries, or term bases are also a very fundamental part of translation. SDL MultiTerm offers an automatic lookup during translation with Workbench. In order to be able to work with MultiTerm term recognition, you will have to set up your very own term base and fill it with the company and subject matter specific terminology of your area of expertise. Agenda Database setup considerations (decisions during the setup of a new term base). Setup and conversion of an Excel file for import into a MultiTerm database. Import options. Using a term base during translation. Takeaway Learn how to set up your own term base in MultiTerm. Learn how to set up an Excel list that you can convert into the MultiTerm import format. DTP file formats Presenter: Angelika Zerfass Cost: $149 Target Audience Everybody who has to prepare DTP file formats for translation (translation project managers, DTP specialists, technical authors - as most of the preparations steps have to be done within the DTP tools) Synopsis Different desktop publishing file formats require different preparation. The presentation will show the workflow for inDesign (from CS2 onward), FrameMaker and QuarkXPress and what to look out for in TagEditor, when translating these file formats. Agenda General information on file preparation in DTP tools. Preparation of InDesign files/troubleshooting in TagEditor. Conversion of FrameMaker files. Extraction of QuarkXPress text. Takeaway Learn how the right preparation of DTP files can minimize the translation effort. Learn about the pitfalls for translation when creating a document in a DTP tool. Checking features in TagEditor Presenter: Angelika Zerfass Cost: $149 Target Audience Translators of any file format in TagEditor. Quality assurance department. Project managers who want to do spot-checks on translated files. Synopsis For every file format that can be translated in TagEditor, there are also verification utilities that help to improve the translation. Terminology verification can check the terminology used in a translation against an SDL MultiTerm term base. Tag verification helps to keep the formatting information within the file intact and the quality assurance checks automatically check for things like punctuation, forgotten translation, numbers and so on. Agenda Generic Tag Verifier (check for lost or incorrect formatting tags) QA Check and QA Check 2.0 (checks for forgotten translations, numbers, punctuation...) Terminology Verifier (checking for forbidden terms...) Various TagEditor plug-ins (software files, FrameMaker, Excel...) Takeaway Learn how automated checks can make your life easier during proofreading. Learn how to create error lists and insert comments in a TagEditor file. Create checking profiles per language, per client, per task. Trados Clinic Presenter: Angelika Zerfass Cost: $149 Target Audience Experienced Trados users (translators, project managers) who want to have their own questions answered by our expert. Synopsis When working with SDL Trados tools, be it Translator's Workbench, TagEditor, MultiTerm or the utilities around these tools like Clipboard Translator, S-Tagger or Glue, there will certainly be questions about the tool and why they work the way they do. Or you might have had some issues with a certain file format or function where you would like to know what happened and how to avoid errors. The Trados Clinic can help you to find answers to problems, get background information on certain features or simply enlarge your knowledge of Trados tools and processes. Agenda You send in your questions. We will create the agenda out of the questions andprepare answers, workarounds or test files to show what happens. Takeaway Get answers on all the things you always wanted to know about Trados tools, but did not have the time to test out for yourself. Find solutions/workarounds to your problems.
