Getting started in SDL Trados Studio

This gives an overview of the process.

Step 1: Specify your settings

About this task

Users who create projects (typically project managers) and users performing a single-file translation (typically freelance translators), should specify their settings before getting started. This includes:

  • File type settings
  • Batch processing settings
  • Translation resources: translation memories, termbases, automated translation providers and AutoSuggest dictionaries.

You only need to set up your settings the first time you translate and then they will be automatically used every time you create a project or open a file for translation.
