RE: Working on "Trados" projects using other CAT tools


Andreas Nilsson: Nikita, Thank you for your reply. If a customer/client doesn't care what tool I use then why is sometimes Trados, or other software, required in posted jobs?

Nikita Kobrin: Hi Andreas, I can't say anything about OmegaT as I never worked with it but I'm absolutely sure that it's none of customer's business what tools you use to do the job: just translate properly and deliver the project in the required format and on time. That's it. NK

RE: Working on "Trados" projects using other CAT tools

RE: Working on "Trados" projects using other CAT tools


Melanie Farrugia: Hello Andreas, I agree with Nikita. No agency can tell you which CAT tool to use as long as you deliver the desired quality and format. I guess that some agencies ask for Trados just because of the so-called "Trados-rates", i.e. it means, IMO, that they want it cheap. I have worked on ...
