Testimonials for SDL Trados Studio Starter
| " | I am really glad to have purchased SDL Trados Starter. It is a very simple and easy to use tool which appeals to people who are new to SDL Trados products. Translating in the software is straightforward and once you have finished your project you simply "pack" your translation into a package and send it back to the translation agency! Starter is also a good affordable investment which easily pays for itself and I can really recommend the software, especially to translators wanting to receive SDL Trados projects. Thanks to SDL Trados for this great CAT-tool!” | " |
