On a normal day to day basis, I employ this at my international marketing company as a program manager and is one of the programs on Windows which has made organising my tasks and project management more productive . As a program manager, I am able to use and control the program simply by employing glossaries, which is also useable by all my teammates. We frequently use this for translation, editing, proof-checking projects and SDL Studios have boosted this by giving access to terminology and self-learning translation programming. An instance as an example is that the Studios can store large volumes of content. The quality of voice and brand is able to stay steady over changing and a heap of dialects and ventures through word references, glossaries and quality controls. Other than that, our Translation team has able to reduce the time required to wrap up interpretation ventures with advantage collaboration and assignment administration. Modern terms can moreover be arranged as our squad can add to them and be shared along other individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In spite of that the program offers numerous valuable highlights and is one of the finest programs utilized on each single day in our company, the cost is as well costly indeed for a company of our estimate even with huge to medium clients. As often as possible we have restricted licenses not to be cost efficient, but since it is actually the most effective of what able to deliver. Aside from the costs incurred when utilizing Studios over the company, it is additionally almost required to buy the newer programs as it certain highlights and capacities are included in them. Modern features are gradually presented today which are accessible in other competing softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I practice and use this daily at my translation agency as a project manager and is one of the software I use primarily which makes my tasks and project management more comfortable. As a project manager, I am able to access the program easily by tapping into glossaries, which is also accessible by all my teammates. We frequently use this for translation and proof-checking projects and SDL Trados Studios have benefited this by giving access to memories, terminology and self-learning translation machines.

Despite that the program offers many useful features and is one of the best programs used on every single day in our company, the price is too expensive even for a company of our size with large to medium clients. Very frequently we have limited licenses not only to optimize costs, but because it is actually the most cost efficient of what we can give. Aside from the high costs occurred when using Studios across the company, it is also encouraged to purchase the professional versions as only certain features and functions are included in them. New features are slowly introduced into the program which are available in other competing softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When they work well, translation memories make my work a lot easier and quicker. This means I get more work done in less time and am able to make more money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is not intuitive and must be taught. The newer versions are designed to look like Microsoft Word in an effort to make using them easier, but instead they have made it harder, as while it looks like Word, it doesn't function like Word. In addition, even when you know how to use it, it still kicks out errors frequently. Customer service is a joke; it mainly falls to the customers themselves to help one another instead.

It suggests the words or phrases that match the TermBase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TermBase reports issues with matches without regard to tense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have to type the same thing over and over again, nor search previous documents to copy and paste into new translations. Ease of creating packages for review, and the translator can then see what changes were suggested and accept or deny each one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The exorbitant price of the product, plus another exorbitant price added yearly if you want support. Also, if you don't pay for tutorials, it takes a very long time to learn how to set it up and get it to work for you, especially if it is the first CAT tool you've ever used. Also, if you turn on Concordance Search, it goes there first and you have to purposefully click on Translation Results for each segment, which is rather frustrating. I would think it would bring up the concordance only if there is no existing translation unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the importing/exporting features where I need to import or export TBs and TMs. The best is that you can ignore duplicates or override old strings. This is not available with memoQ, so working locally with other translators is more smooth with Trados. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I hate Trado's layout. It's horrible, confusing and not user-friendly (compared to memoQ, for example). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the market standard in the US for technical, medical and legal translation, TMs, Termbases, file formats are all very consistent, stable and standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for WordPress is non-existent; other options like MemSource or MemoQ actually support these files and do not require programming of hundreds of tags for you to get started translating. Plugin support also is not great. Studio is great if you are working with InDesign, Illustrator, Word docs, etc., but for WordPress in particular it is not a viable option. It is a shame because WordPress is the biggest text generating engine out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Studio has served me well since it's inception. The single most valuable feature is one-click access to the concordance, closely followed by the function of the 'Display Filer' on the 'Review' ribbon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They way Studio automates the translation of numbers, dates and times can sometimes be annoying. It turns 1.10 into 1:10 pm too often when this was a piece of data in my source text, not a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SDL Studio helps me translate faster and meet tight deadlines in my work as a translator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a sophisticated translation tool and you need to keep up with all the updates, but the time and effort invested are worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its translation memory feature, where identical or similar text already translated before is automatically displayed in the segment from the translation memory. It also integrates glossaries into the translation as well as machine translation. This speeds up the translation process and make it more accurate.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you can't interactively see the final translation displayed in its final format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
