EXPERT INTRO COURSE

Building Productivity from Day One with Trados

The  greatest localization successes are not linguistic. They are strategic.

In high-demand multilingual environments like the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament), translation workflows must be fast, consistent, and scalable.

According to CSA Research, organizations that leverage translation technology effectively can increase productivity by up to 40% while improving consistency across content.

This 2-day intensive, hands-on training is designed to help participants move from theory to real production workflows immediately, mastering Groupshare and Trados Studio fundamentals, translation memory usage, and terminology management.

The program combines live demonstrations, real-life files, and interactive exercises, ensuring that participants can apply what they learn instantly in their daily work.
