Trados Studio 2011

I wanted to start my Studio 2011 articles with this topic for two reasons: (1) This is an important enhancement of Studio for those who are stuck with clients who still require this old Trados file format, and (2) The process can be a bit confusing. Hopefully, the following information can make it easier and clearer.

Trados Studio 2011

I recently did a Trados bilingual file (presegmented and pretranslated by client) in Studio 2011 SP2R2 and was not able to save the file back to its orginal bilingual format for delivery. When I ran the QA in Studio, it displayed a list of 103 errors for this 1,100-segment file. I then logged this incident in SDL Support, as I have a PMSA contract with them. It turns out that there were two segments that I did not handle the formatting tags properly. After these tags were properly fixed, I was able to save this file in Trados 2007 format.

Browsing the web recently for answers to some (many?) questions I had about settings and features in Trados Studio 2011, I came frequently across the question about quotation mark tags. More specifically, how to insert language-specific quotation marks in Trados Studio 2011. If you are working, for example, on a translation from French into German, there are two things to consider with regards to quotation marks: 1) the quotation marks themselves and 2) the non-breaking spaces between the quotation marks and the word(s) in quotation: non-breaking spaces . When translating into German, you want to have the specific quotation marks and no space between.

For more information, tips and tricks with Trados Studio 2011 watch this space or refer to the Trados Studio 2011 user manual. It also contains a list of very helpful and resourceful blogs that have helped me a lot along the way.

For us an agency, this tool is very helpful especially when the translators do not have the SDL Trados Studio 2011. We can use this tool to convert SDLXLIFF files to and importing from Trados legacy formats. It only takes seconds to have the files processed to our desired files.

As a member of the KantanMT Community, using SDL Trados Studio 2011 or 2014 you can launch and shutdown your KantanMT engines and retrieve translations on demand via the API from your KantanMT account, all you need to provide is your KantanMT account name, token and profile.
