SDL Trados Studio 2017

It’s all about innovation!

NEW INNOVATION!

upLIFTTransformational TM technology

NEW INNOVATION:

AdaptiveMTTransformational MT, made unique

• Drag and Drop to translate files• Easily reverse language pairs in

project creation• Will remember recently used

languages – no need to go through a long list

• Easier TM creation when opening a document

• Get started with a simple right click from Windows Explorer

Easier first steps with Studio

Merge segments over hard return• Sometimes source texts are not

written with localization in mind, which means that the segmentation is not optimal for translation.

• With Studio 2017 you can merge segments that are problematic for translation, even across hard returns, so that you can focus on what’s important!

Customize your filters with the Display Filter API• Advanced Display Filter options in

Studio 2017• Apply cascading filters• Search source and target• Further possibilities available with

the API

Small improvements for big gains

UPLIFT

Current TM technology

Terms

Documents, paragraph and sentence

Segment Level

Sub-segment, small phrases

Providing comprehensive matches at every level within your translation projects

Current TM technology – Concordance Search

Subsegment matches are much more common, but subsegment recall differs significantly among CAT tools, so it matters which tool you use.

Current TM technology means you can only get so much out of your TMsSegment-level recall is similar among all CAT tools

Benefits:• Simpler TM leverageMatches come directly from TM through AutoSuggest – no need to distribute AutoSuggest dictionaries

• Save time and effortNo extraction step required – newly-added TUs available immediately for subsegment recall

• High confidenceEasy to identify matches as they are highlighted in both source and target (context) so you can be confident they are high-quality and relevant

Use case:• I can’t build AutoSuggest dictionaries

(using Studio Freelance)• My TMs aren’t large enough to build an

AutoSuggest Dictionary• Concordance search doesn’t always give

me a result• It’s not clear which target fragment

corresponds to the source in concordance search

Introducing: upLIFT Fragment Recall
