The purpose of this course is to get project managers, translators and reviewer up to speed in SDL Trados Studio 2011. At the end of the course, participants will have an overall understanding of Studio 2011 procedures, processes, functions and workflows.
Prerequisites
While basic computer knowledge is assumed, the pace of this course is determined by the participants - no question is too basic and I definitely don’t mind explaining basic concepts (what is a basic concept may be an advanced concept for a participant).
