Comments on: Do I really need Trados? It’s so expensive! http://www.germanservices.ca/index.php/2008/11/do-i-really-need-trados/ News, views and tips for video game localizers Wed, 23 Mar 2011 23:38:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Patrick http://www.germanservices.ca/index.php/2008/11/do-i-really-need-trados/comment-page-1/#comment-325 Patrick Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:55:06 +0000 http://www.garfa.com/germanservices/?p=74#comment-325 Hi Tanja and thank you for your question. One of the biggest advantages of Trados is that it supports many formats. Even with an older version (I use Trados 2006), I can work without problems on Excel files or other tagged formats, such as html or xml. The other advantage: Many of my clients and colleagues use Trados as well, so the sharing of translation memories is easy. But (and this is a big but): Many other CAT tools out there will also work with the formats I mentioned and produce translation memories that can be shared with Trados users. At the end of the day, I prefer Trados because I am so used to it. Hi Tanja and thank you for your question.
