One of the pieces of software I find most useful when I translate is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I’ve been using it for years since version 9 or 10. It allows me to dictate with a high accuracy and flexibility, avoiding potential typos and misspellings. It also helps me proofread long texts without having to print out[…]
Encontré un interesante artículo sobre el uso correcto e incorrecto de la coma. Les dejo el enlace: Nos sabe engatusar y engañar; por eso, actúa con total libertad. Se escabulle en nuestros textos y confunde la comprensión de los lectores… Nos referimos a la coma criminal. La coma criminal es aquella que se ubica entre[…]

Esto no tiene nada que ver con la traducción ni con el español, pero igual lo pongo porque me encanta el Mundial. He cargado un calendario con las fechas y las horas de los partidos. El calendario se puede importar a Google Calendar fácilmente.
Para importar las fechas, […]
This has nothing to do with translation or Spanish but I love the World Cup so here it goes anyway. I uploaded a calendar with the dates and times of each match. The calendar can be easily imported to Google calendar.

As translators and freelancers, we have the great opportunity to work with people from all over the world. However, this could be problematic when it comes to setting a deadline or, even worse, scheduling a conference call with several people in different parts of the world: which time? yours, mine, GMT?.

This video tutorial shows how easy it is to perform a Quality Assurance check and a Terminology QA Check on a SDL Trados unclean Word file. The QA Check will analyze SDLX compatible files (like SDL Trados unclean Word files) against a Termbase to make sure the terms in the termbase were used in the translation. The QA Check can find potential errors and issues like missing or partially missing translations, inconsistent translations, multiple dots or spaces, etc. The tool will produce an report with a list of all the issues found. The list is interactive so clicking on the report item will jump to the respective segment where the issue was found. The files can be corrected directly from SDL Edit (included in the Trados Suite) and saved as an unclean file.
