Maybe this looks different in Starter 2014 and/or on a Mac. If that doesn't work, open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape), expand SDL Trados Studio, right click 'find and replace' and select 'Bring to Front'.

Hi Emma,I'm going to go out on a limb here and give you an honest answer.I don’t have a problem with people using pirated software to test programs they are considering using and purchasing. Many trials and demos don’t allow you to properly test a program so as to decide whether it is going to be useful in the long run.

Once you know that you are going to use it, you should definitely buy it, for various reasons.1. The developer deserves to be paid for his or her work (especially small developers; I believe in doing business ‘locally’)2. If you pay for the program you can use its support department and partake in its forums3.

If you pay for it you can tell everyone you own a licence for it, which sounds very professional.However, there is another aspect to this, which relates to the way that the translation industry is structured today. More and more these days, idiot LSPs insist on forcing their translators to use a specific CAT tool (they have very good reasons for doing so, none of which are my concern). However, they didn’t all choose the same CAT tool. Some chose Wordfast Classic, some Wordfast Pro, some SDL Studio 2011, some SDL Studio 2014, some still use the old Trados, some chose memoQ (maybe version 4, version 5, version 6, memoQ 2013, and now memoQ 2014), a few chose DVX2/3, etc. Oh yeah, and none chose CafeTran or OmegaT.Hmm. Anyway, so what does this mean? This means that I have agencies constantly telling me they have a job for me, but only if I use their CAT tool.

Now, there are a few CAT tools out there that can handle a large number of CAT tool file formats (sometimes in the form of so-called ‘packages’), and many of them in fact pride themselves on their ‘interoperability’. However, it is often not good enough to only use their CAT tool to process these file formats from other CAT tools. Sometimes you really need to run it through the native program once before delivering your project to your client.

So what are we translators to do? Some people solve this by just buying everything (like my friend Hans):SDL Studio and/or the old Trados, memoQ (4,5,6, etc.), Wordfast (Pro and/or Classic), etc.That’s great. They can sleep well at night in the knowledge that they have done the right thing.

But is it really the right thing? Is it our fault that every agency insists on using yet another CAT tool, when they could very well just ask their translators for:(1) A final word.docx(2) A project TM as.tmx(3) A bilingual review file as.docx (which can be reimported into the CAT tool, allowing the TM to be updated)(4) A bilingual review file as.html(5) A project glossary as a tab-delimited UTF-8 text fileYes, you guessed it: the above 5 (or less) files is what my clients get from me.Michael ▲.

Some time clients ask for revision of Indesign CS6 files or Quark Express files, leave the demand of CAT.

In this scenario people tends to use Torrent sites like thepiratebay.com. Everything is available there except Wordfast Pro.Not untrue!

I didn't think of TW countries. In this case it would be much less shameful in my view.

I own dozens of pieces of software, from donationware to packages costing into the thousands of dollars. My view has always been that if it's going to be a useful tool and increase my productivity, the cost is worth it.I do have a lot of sympathy for Michael's argument above that sometimes you need to test an application and a trial isn't really possible.

Caa vfr charts download. Still, compared to 10 or 15 years ago most companies seem to be better at facilitating a good solid test of the product.If I'm going to be using something, I buy it. If it's too expensive, I make do with something else. If I can't afford Adobe Illustrator, I use Inkscape.

If I can't afford Microsoft Office, I use LibreOffice. There's always an alternative.

In fact, many of the most important pieces of software I use everyday are free software. I'm proud of having purchased all the software I need for doing my translation business! And I live in a developing country, the rates I'm paid just for living here are lower than the rates paid to those living in Europe or US, but still, I can afford to pay for those tools.I wouldn't like to ride a taxi whose license is stolen. I wouldn't like to go to the dentist and knowing that he has not paid for the tools he is using to fix my teeth. I will consider that they are not professional.

The same with translators.RegardsClarisaEdited at 2014-06-23 18:58 GMT ▲.

So would it be acceptable for a student to steal the food from the restaurant, perhaps by eating a meal and then running away before the bill comes? Or should the student simply not dine out at places he cannot afford?Surely the appropriate response is to say to oneself 'I can't afford that now, but I'll work hard and work smart and one day I will eat at that restaurant'.

Eating at an expensive restaurant is not in any way required for anything, it's a luxury. You can get just as much nutrition eating at a soup kitchen for free.If agencies merely required 'any CAT tool,' and not a specific one, the argument would be more valid. But this is not the reality of the situation in my experience.
