Flexibility to work wherever you are

The dynamic combination and flexibility offered by Studio 2021 and SDL Trados Live will benefit everyone — from individual translators through to project managers running large teams.

Higher quality translations can be delivered faster as you can:
  • Translate, review and manage work on the Studio 2021 desktop app when you're in the office
  • Move to the cloud when it suits to control your projects on any device, such as a tablet, through SDL Trados Live or the new SDL Trados Live mobile app.

Designed to raise your productivity

When under pressure to deliver increasing volumes of translations within short time frames, it's essential to find ways to be more productive. Studio 2021 offers many enhancements to speed up your translation process, including:
  • Tags containing information about the formatting of your documents, such as font and color, are now automatically inserted into a translation segment
  • Improved automation and quality assurance (QA) with the ability to customize your recognition settings for Placeables such as dates, times and currencies
  • More powerful search with an upgrade to the Advanced Display Filter
  • Enhanced Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) interface.
