Virtually coinciding with our own website relaunch, TranslatorsTraining.com also took this sensible step and debuted its completely revamped site design.
If you are a translator and would like to get a better idea of the majority of the Translation Environment Tools (TEnTs), as Jost Zetzsche – author of the e-book “The Translator’s Tool Box – A Computer Primer for Translators” and the “The Tool Kit – A computer newsletter for translators” newsletter as well as co-founder of TranslatorsTraining.com – likes to call them, head straight over to the site.
For a relatively low annual fee you gain access to video presentations capturing each tool’s way of helping you do the same thing, thereby getting as close as possible to comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges.
At present, coverage includes but is not limited to:
