Trados for Russian? Автор темы: Yngve Roennike
|
|---|
I would like to use Trados for Russian to English translation.
Is this going to be a problem, specifically with the cyrillic script?
Obviously, it will not work with the standard language complement I currently have downloaded for Trados, since segments processing Russian turn up garbled.
Thanks for input and suggestions, maybe the question has been answered before in the vast repository of queries on Proz.

You need to specify a cyrillic font during setup of a translation memory.

It was a big problem with Trados versions lower than 7.0, but in newer versions it's ok, so the problem, if any, lies elsewhere.

Excellent, Sergei!
I am going to have to curtail my languages in Trados, and place all Western-Central European code page languages in one TM, and then make other TMs depending on the specific code page, e.g., one for Russian/cyrillic. I am fast approaching the paltry five-language limit set by Trados.
Go Putin! For a moment I thought I noticed a slight resemblance

Have you ever tried to use Wordfast?
You can use your previous tm's in WF (by exporting existing tm's into txt or tmx format) and re-creating them in WF.
It helps to handle secondary languages, which you could have for training and learning, leaving main Trados capacities to your primary languages (earning you money).

Well, I am not going to through another round of learning a new CAT tool, and I basically don't care what moniker it carries.
As for Trados, it is its real document interface that I appreciate, not something that is one step removed from the document itself, you loose all touch of context that way.
Regards,
Yngve

I think you would be really surprised to find how things can be made simple and much user friendlier, when you have a look at wordfast after struggle with Trados
You already know all concepts and general workflow/
What is left is just learning a new layout/
Last but not least - Wordfast has no tageditor :0)

So my next project in this path to simplification is to export all TMs with languages of one and the same code page into a new TM, e.g., Western/Central European into English, which will be by far the largest.
I was hoping this would not cause any confusion, I mean, the SUs have different language tags, as it stands now, or do I have to replace globally all language tags with one specific and unique language tag, say German, for these various languages.

Anyway, I will have to try and see what gives, when I have a spare moment and enough inspiration/motivation.
I hope this is clear, I don't have too much time to explain it. ▲ Collapse

Автор темы | Wordfast, how fast? | Dec 18, 2007 |
But does it have a language combination limit, like Trados?
That would greatly influence my decision as to whether to acquire a new CAT tool.
I assume you can import your TMs from Trados to Wordfast.
