At the agency where I work, we are required to translate 3000 words a day. Period. Sometimes, for rush jobs, I am required to translate up to 6000 words a day. I think 4000 a day every day
I'm not being critical, but you do have access to the Internet. The European Court of Justice's website is available in all Member State languages and is an excellent source of terminology
Hi. I lost a laptop in a fire last year, and contacted Trados and explained the situation. They were quite happy to reset my account, so that I could download my license and activate it ag
Hi. I recently installed my licence on a laptop. My Word is version 2010. The shortcuts are different from the Trados I have on another laptop, that has Word 2007 XP. Other than using my

I am very often amazed at some of the questions in my language pair initially posted as PRO. Many many of these can be answered using a basic, good dictionary or off the top of one's head.

I never send TMs to clients. If they want to incorporate your translation into their own memory, just send them both the clean and unclean versions of the translation and they can load it<
Hi Veronica. I think posting the client's details on Blue Board was unwise. After all, don't translators read those comments when deciding whether or not to work for a company or, as p

Thanks everyone so far. One question about the proz invoicing tool. Are the documents stored anywhere on proz? I'm a bit concerned about my details being "out there".

I have installed it on my desktop and my laptop, and as someone mentioned, it works as long as you don't try to use Trados on the two computers at the same time.
I tried using voice recognition software, but quite frankly, I can type faster than the programme reacted. Besides, I enjoy typing. Still, I can't rule out the possibility of using it agai
