I translate for decades, since my 10th grade, and do not use Trados. I have done various translations using clients' CATs and in all occasions, it was more troublesome and time-consuming rather than useful. Conjugation and gender endings in my languages is the major reason thereof. So I just don't own any CAT.
Some agencies (sic! not direct clients) insist on Trados; still this week, I retrieved my participation in a tender, as the agency's client requested "to confirm that you have SDL Trados Studio 2014 or you are willing to buy it when the contract is awarded". No, thanks, I do not incur investments where neither any profits nor even recovery of the cost is reasonably ensured.
But, surely, having all the principle tools at hand and mastering their usage will only add to expanding your possibilities.
Any need for a hand or advice in Portugal - be always welcome. ▲ Collapse
