The translation memories and termbases allow you to work like 2x faster and keep consistency throughout your project. It's a really powerful tool (after 5 years working daily with it, I still discover new and incredible tools and features every week). > > **Cons**: The software may freeze or present some errors that force you to reopen it. It may also have a hard time working with MS Word file full of tags. You may need a strong PC to work it properly and smoothly. > > SDL Trados Studio is, by far, the most known CAT tool out there. It's an expensive software, but once you start using it for your projects, you will quickly notice how this can pays itself off in a few months (or days, depending on your workload). After years translating with SDL Trados, it's impossible to imagine my rountine without a CAT Tool like this. The downside is that it may freeze at sometimes for no apparent reason. It also demands a good PC to run it smoothly, as it tends to be a bit slow in older devices. Overall, it is worth every cent if you do intend to work as a translator\! ----- ### "3year experience" — 4.0/5 > **Niki** | *23 July 2019* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Compatibility with different files as well as creating and maintaining TMs > > **Cons**: Split files and assign to different translators proofreaders etc. Obligatory updates from Trados 2014 to 2019 for example. Price-point ----- ### "SDL Trados Studio" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 February 2019* | Outsourcing/Offshoring | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very important software for translating. > > **Cons**: I didn't like the fact that it is a bit hard to learn using it. ----- ### "One of the first but competitors caught up..." — 5.0/5 > **Roberto** | *11 August 2022* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has many likeable features which are updated frequently and work very well. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the software is hard to use and you need special training to understand and use the product. > > I have mixed feeling about the product. It took me years to really accept it until the industry made it almost mandatory to use it and I had to learn how to use it. ----- ### "Great translation management tool" — 5.0/5 > **Yann** | *30 September 2020* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The translation memory is a smart tool and comes handy for translating large documents with a fair amount of repetitions. The system supports a lot of different file types. > > **Cons**: The software is not very stable and has an annoying tendency to crash, especially when using with large files. Its price is expensive and can be an important obstacle for a translator working independently. > > I have been using SDL Trados for a bit more than one year and it has showed useful in various occasions, however, it required a few hours to get acquainted with the main features. Overall a good product, but its price don't make it the first option for most of independent workers. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/300908/sdl-trados-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/300908/sdl-trados-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
