Tweet When it comes to online CAT-tools I personally consider Memsource as one of the better ones – it’s reasonably fast, offers decent functionality and usability. It’s even better with local (but not offline) client, which can undock some windows, so you can have concordance and TM matches on screen at the same time. Still, …

Tweet The conference #TranslatingEurope Forum 2016 was held on October 27-28 in Brussels. Besides presentations, the conference included two sessions of mini-workshops: the idea was to present some practical aspect of translation in small group – three people at a time.

One of the biggest buzzwords/trends in localization is currently “mobile”. And as the buzzwords go, this one is justified – there’s a lot of content being localized for mobile devices.

Wywołano mnie do tablicy pytając listownie o dwu- lub wielojęzyczne glosariusze dostępne w Internecie, najlepiej w formacie XLS lub CSV. To bardzo ciekawe pytanie, ponieważ dotyczy jednego z najważniejszych aspektów pracy tłumacza – terminologii. Skąd „brać” terminologię do tłumaczeń, zwłaszcza dotyczących specjalistycznych dziedzin?

Although the newer CAT tools offer track changes function (available, for example, in memoQ or Trados Studio), the creation of a report readable …
