Translate
Dear trados developers,
After so many years of updates that have made Trados a giant program in size and charging so much money, it still works like ***. This conclusion was made by me after many years of working with it and almost all of the other CAT tools. Here are the questions:
1. Some doc/docx files are just NOT supported well. Trados refuses to export translated files when it happens. And I have to resave that file (often from doc to docx) using MS Word and translate that file again from the beginning. WHY?
2. When importing a large xls file, it may take years for the program to finish. I often could not wait and just killed the process. Why?
3. It lacks of many useful functions, such as generating translated files with paragraph-to-paragraph or sentence-to-sentence bilingual format, built-in and out-of-the-box MT translation tool, free online TM and so on. I'm shocked that even a free CAT tool ( http://pe.iol8.com) can do all these things. But I don't use that tool quite often because of privacy. The trados developers seem not very interested in these functions. Why? PS, another function I would mention is AutoCAD files support, but I think you definitely won't make it happen.
I do not need to be answered. Please answer to yourself.
