Trados beginners guide. Create, open, export translation memoryThis is a very brief Guide to start using Trados Workbench. Below you will find the steps to follow to create, open and export a translation memory, and further basic features of the software. You have to take into account that these steps correspond to SDL Trados 2006, so some menus can be different in other Trados versions.
To create a translation memory:
1. Go to Windows / Start /All programs/ SDL International / SDL Trados 2006 / Translator’s Workbench. The software will start running and will request the user name.
