SDL Trados Studio Freelance is a complete translation environment for editing, reviewing and managing translation projects either offline on the desktop tool or online in the cloud. Studio offers a number of core technologies to support you as you translate – translation memories (TMs) are the key component and other functionality includes termbases for managing terminology and machine translation (MT) to speed up the translation process. In addition to the core components, there are many features to help increase your productivity and ensure your consistency.

The latest edition, SDL Trados Studio 2021, will transform the way you work. Combining the leading SDL Trados Studio CAT tool with the new cloud-based SDL Trados Live, gives you the option to work from anywhere, on any device, at any time… the possibilities are endless.

Easily reuse previously translated and approved content across all of your projects with intelligent translation memory (TM) technology. 

The more words, phrases, and sentences that are added to your TM, the faster you can translate subsequent translations with the ever-growing database automatically providing any matches. upLIFT technology provides fragment matching for both 'no match' and 'fuzzy match' scenarios.

With our TM at the heart of your translation process, you can increase your productivity by as much as 80%, plus improve consistency across all your content.
