WORDFAST CLASSIC COURSE: PRETORIA, 1214 AUGUST 2013
Esme Greenfield, Marietjie Delport and Wilna Liebenberg are
presenting a 3-day introductory courseon the use of Wordfast
Classic (WFC) in Pretoria on the above dates. We work on a ratio of
onepresenter to two students in order to ensure through personal
attention that the program is adequatelyreinforced.
Wordfast is a translation memory programme that will enable you
to translate more words in the sameamount of time, thereby
increasing your translation speed and your ability to earn more.
This user-friendly programme will also help you translate more
consistently within a document, over severaldocuments and even over
several projects.
In addition to the translation memory function, it also has a
glossary function for storing and retrievingterminology. The
glossaries and translation memories can be shared with other
translators as well,which is very helpful if you are working on a
project with a colleague.
Wordfast has many benefits and is very affordable (currently 200
for a 3-year licence, with a licencerenewal cost of100 after the 3
years). As Esme, Marietjie and Wilna are registered as trainers
withWordfast, paid-up course members of EMW Courses receive a
further discount of60 when we
register you as a student with Wordfast.
The main benefits reported by WFC users are the following:
1. WFC works as an add-in in MS Word, so your regular MS Word
shortcuts, spell checkers, etc.are available as usual.
2. You can translate MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF
documents with WFC.3. The programme is extremely user-friendly and
the developers website, forums and support
service are easily accessible and helpful.4. You can search
through hundreds of previously translated documents with the click
of a button.5. The incidence of translations lost due to power
failures, unsaved documents, corrupt
documents or system failures is dramatically reduced, since the
work you have done is storedin your translation memory.
