Overall Satisfaction with Trados Studio

I have used Trados on a daily basis for a long time as this is a requirement for most of my clients. In my opinion, it is pretty user-friendly and helps you manage your projects and resources. I believe it has wonderful features such as a spelling check, quality assurance and segment filters. On the downside, in my experience, it is not so good at managing large projects/files and there are frequent bugs and system crashes. The latest version is causing me a great deal of problems as it crashes each time I accept a segment, although I can work around this problem but this makes more work for me. Terminology is often not displayed and the system often does not like you to make changes to termbases. My operating system is Windows 11 64-bit and I believe that does cause more problems.
  • Project management
  • Quality assurance
  • Handling different document formats
  • Unable to handle large files efficiently
  • 64-bit version required
  • Improved terminology window and usage
  • QA
  • Terminology bases
  • Translation memories
  • Complete jobs more quickly, so you can do more work
  • In my experience, when it crashes, you can waste a great deal of time getting it sorted
I believe it does not have all the features that Trados has
