Event Information
Description
Description
This training is devoted to setting up and using the basic features of Wordfast Pro 4. We will discuss the concepts of simple and advanced projects and how to best organize projects based on individual participants’ needs. A workflow approach from translation quoting to delivery will be used and practical exercises will focus on creating and using glossaries and translation memories. This course is for translators who are new to Wordfast Pro 4 or who have used Wordfast Pro 3.
Note: Training will continue in the afternoon for beginners as a separate workshop and cover a different range of Wordfast Pro 4 features. Previous users of Wordfast Pro 3 might not want to attend the afternoon session since they should already have a working knowledge of the main features that will be covered (except the filter tool).
