Delivering translations and content localization with accuracy and speed is a key challenge for any translation professional. This is why translators and localization teams use Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tools to help them work quickly and manage their translation jobs more efficiently. SDL Trados Studio is a market-leading CAT tool with over 270,000 users, which means it has the largest community of translation professionals in the world.

SDL is a long established CAT tool provider and if you are part of the SDL Trados Community you have access to the largest selection of translation software, training materials, industry know-how, events and multi-lingual learning content anywhere in the world of localization.

Transforming the way you work, Studio 2021 gives you the option to work anywhere, on any device, at any time.

Why SDL Trados Studio?

Deliver projects faster: Easily reuse previously translated content across all of your projects with intelligent translation memory (TM) technology. Innovative features, such as AutoSuggest predictive typing and high-quality neural machine translation (NMT), accessed from within Studio, will also enable you to speed up translation work.

Receive jobs from anyone: Translate in a comprehensive selection of language options and work with the widest range of file types. Process projects securely whilst on the move with SDL Trados Live, use your tablet, laptop or mobile and then seamlessly sync with your desktop app. You can also create new projects, track your translation progress, check project milestones while out and about directly from your smartphone via the new SDL Trados Live app.

Ensure consistent, high quality translations: Use our terminology management tool SDL MultiTerm, and automatic quality assurance (QA) checks within Studio to help ensure consistency throughout your translations.

I think the simplest reason to choose Studio is that it's a solid business decision. As a freelancer, if you want to play in the Big Leagues, you need Big League tools. Having Studio is a basic pre-requisite to be considered for jobs with many large clients, so Studio will open opportunities for you that you wouldn't have access to otherwise. Investing the time and money needed to own and become proficient in an industry-leading tool such as Studio tells potential customers that you take this profession seriously.

Now that I have started working with Studio, I have seen a huge difference in my productivity! Spending some time to properly prepare a project, building relevant termbases, leveraging translation memories and aligning legacy documents to build new ones, have made me much faster and more efficient.

SDL Trados Studio is an essential part of my workflow. With Studio, I have everything I need: terminology consistency, reference to past jobs, faster typing and QA checking as I go. After using SDL Trados Studio almost every day since its launch in 2009, I can assure you that it’s easy to use from scratch, but much more satisfying when you get to know all the ins and outs.

I use termbases and translation memories all the time and that helps me deliver high quality translations to my clients.

It just works miracles. When I find a term or a longer phrase in a sentence that I have translated before, it just extracts it and I can just click and insert it into the new sentence, so it does really speed up my work a lot.

Overall, Studio is a great product that comes with a comprehensive package of information, helping people of all levels of experience and skills to use the software. As always, the whole upgrade process was very easy and done in a few clicks. The resources that are provided with new Studio versions are always extremely helpful, including various apps that increase productivity and webinars where new features of Studio are introduced and explained.

You cannot find all of the features that Trados Studio has in any other CAT tool. With the developer program, Trados Studio is the only CAT tool I know that you can fully customize. With its customizability, Trados Studio can fit into any translation workflow.

One of the most important things when it comes to translation is consistency. SDL Trados has helped me produce high-quality work regarding terminology and style in ways that are almost impossible to achieve using more basic tools. That comes in handy when dealing with large projects, and I warmly thank SDL for this convenient software solution.
