Three useful functionalities
The eCoLoRe project conducted a survey of freelance and in-house translators in order to identify the typical translation workflow. It is therefore worth studying the materials produced by this project in order to gain a deeper understanding of what translating with TM tools involves.
Some of the most frequent questions asked by professionals thinking about starting to use TM tools are:
Q: Will I need to spend additional time formatting the target file?
A: Pseudotranslation can give you the answer.
Q: How useful is my TM?
A: Just pretranslate the source file to find out.
Q: Can I see more sentences containing a particular term?
A: Nothing the concordancing funtionality cannot do!
