4. Lesson: Think from the client’s perspective
• Proposal outline can be less generic
• Make formatting intuitive to client
• Be clear on client expectations from the start

5. Lesson: Production Phase
• Creating a glossary should be
part of the preparation phase
• While translating the source text
in trados a TM is automatically
being created
• Therefore, there is no need to
align the source and target text to
create a TM
• A TM is an important factor of
keeping a client

6. Lesson: Advantages/Disadvantages of
Trados
● Y U NO make it more
user friendly?
● On the bright side: once
you learn Trados, you
know them all.

7. Lesson: Overall Better Grasp
• This project gave us a better idea of what the whole process
looks like, from beginning to end. We were really able to see
the forest from the trees.
• How we use CAT tools as translators
