Translation today, like most other professions, takes place on computers and involves various software tools. Translators can access a plethora of online resources, dictionaries, discussions and more. Translations are delivered by email, minimising turn-around times and keeping pace with today’s customer demands. In addition, translation software programs have been developed to make the process more efficient and reliable, saving customers both time and money.

Naturally, using those digital tools is now the norm in the industry, however they cannot replace the human translator. A successful translator knows how to choose and use the right tools to enhance their work and boost their productivity to benefit their customers.

The main tools I work with are:

• Trados Studio
• MemoQ
• Customers’ own CMS

I am also proficient at working with standard software programs including Adobe, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel.
