Preparation for Trados Starter's Level Certification Exam

General:

1. Can a Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 file be opened directly in Tag Editor for translation?

Yes. Before opening the document for translation in TagEditor, you can choose to prepare the document using the Translate option in Translator’s Workbench. If you pretranslate the document, a bilingual TradosTag TTX file is created, which can be opened in TagEditor. Otherwise, if you do not want to pretranslate the document, you can open the source Microsoft PowerPoint document directly in TagEditor.

2. Can a Microsoft Word 2007 file be opened directly in Tag Editor for translation?

Yes.

1. Browse to the File menu and choose Open.

2. Choose the correct file type version for Microsoft Word from Files of Type.

D NOTE: If you have not pretranslated the document, choose between Microsoft Word 2000-2003 and

Microsoft Word 2007; If you have pretranslated the document, choose TradosTag Documents.

3. Click Open.

3 How do you activate ―active term recognition‖ during translation? (p35)

The active term recognition" should be activated in Translator's Workbench, not in TagEditor, MultiTerm OR Synergy.

1. In Translator’s Workbench, browse to the Options menu and choose Term RecognitionOptions.

2. From the Termbase tab, select MultiTerm 7 from the drop-down menu.

3. In Termbase Location, click the Browse icon.

4. In the Open Termbases dialog box, click the Add Termbase icon.

5. In the Select Termbases dialog box, click the Local Termbases radio button.

4 How do you create a ―return package‖ to deliver to your client? (P 294)

To create a return package based on all files in your project:

1. Select a project as current in the Projects drop-down list on the Synergy toolbar.

2. Browse to the Project menu and choose Package > Create Return Package.

Alternatively, click the Create Return Package link in the Project section of the Start view.

Alternatively, select a project in the Recent Projects pane of the Today view or the Projects list pane of the Projects view, right-click and select Create Return Package from the context menu.

3. The Create Return Package wizard opens on the Select Files page.

All files in the project which are owned by you are displayed on the Select Files page. These are all selected for inclusion in your package. Deselect any files here that you do not want to include in your package (for example, any files that are not fully translated or reviewed) and click Next to proceed to the Return Package Options page . NOTE:

If you have already created a return package for files in your project, only files that have been changed since the last time they were included in a package are displayed on the Select Files page.

To create a return package based on a subset of files in your project:

1. In the Files view, select the files you want to include in the return package, right-click and choose Create Return Package from the context menu.

2. The Create Return Package wizard opens directly on the Return Package Options page.

NOTE: The Select Files page is skipped, as you have already selected the files for inclusion in the package.

3. On the Return Package Options page, you can choose where to save your return

package and include a comment for your Project Manager if you want to.

Return package location: Click Browse to open the Return Package Location dialog box. Browse to the location where you want to save the return package, enter a name for your return package file and click OK. Comment: Type a comment about the return package. The Project Manager will see this comment when they import the return package. For example, you might want to inform the Project Manager that you have verified the return files and that verification was successful.

4. Click Next to proceed to the Creating Return Package page.

5. A progress bar is displayed while the package is being created.

6. Click Open Target Folder to open the folder in which your return package is saved.

7. Click Finish to close the Create Return Package wizard.

Your return package has now been created and is saved with the file name you specified and the extension. It is now ready to be returned to the Project Manager.

5 How do you create a termbase from the content of an existing translation memory?

If your translation project has an SDL MultiTerm termbase, you can load the file into SDL MultiTerm. Once the file has been loaded, it will be available to use during translation. You can load a termbase as follows:

1. In SDL MultiTerm, browse to the Termbase menu and choose Load External Termbase.

2. The Load Termbase dialog box will appear.

3. In Termbase Location, click Browse and browse to the folder in which the termbase is stored.

4. Choose the name of the termbase and click Open.

NOTE:An SDL MultiTerm termbase has a *.mdb file extension.

5. Under Termbase Name, type the name that you want to assign to the local termbase.

NOTE:The termbase name you enter must be unique. If you enter a termbase name that is already in use, SDL MultiTerm will prompt you to specify a different name.

6. In Termbase Description, type a description of the termbase (this is optional).

7. Click OK to confirm and to close the Attach Termbase dialog box.

D NOTE

Once a termbase has been loaded into SDL MultiTerm, it will be available as a local termbase for all translation projects. Unless the termbase is updated or changed by the client, you only need to load the termbase once. If the client delivers an updated termbase, you must load it into SDL MultiTerm again.

6 What application should you use to open a Trados Tag TX file and translate it with the Translator's Workbench? Before opening the document for translation in TagEditor, you can choose to prepare the document using the Translate option in Translator’s Workbench. If you pretranslate the document, a bilingual TradosTag TTX file is created, which can be opened in TagEditor. Otherwise, if you do not want to pretranslate the document, you can open the source Microsoft Word document directly in TagEditor.

7 What application should you use to open an XML file and translate it with Translator’s Workbench? (p58) (I am not sure about this answer, please check)

Before opening the file for translation in TagEditor, you can choose to prepare the file using the Translate option in Translator’s Workbench. If you pretranslate the file, a bilingual Trados Tag TTX file is created, which can be opened in TagEditor. Otherwise, if you do not want to pretranslate the file, you can open the source Microsoft Excel file directly in TagEditor.

About the Conversion Process

During translation with Translator’s Workben ch and TagEditor, Microsoft Excel files are converted to TradosTag format using a dedicated Excel filter. Through the conversion process, most of the content in your file is made available for translation and formatting instructions are effectively transferred from the source to the target file. Using the Filter Settings Application for the Excel Filters

To modify some of the most commonly changed settings in the Excel filter settings file, use the SDL Trados Filter Settings:

(Go to the Start menu and choose Programs – SDL International – SDL Trados 2007 – Filters– Filter Settings.)

8 What are the basic steps for translation with Translator’s Workbench? (p71)

1. Create a folder structure for your translation project.

2. Open the translation memory you wish to use for the translation.

3. Prepare the document in Translator’s Workbench, using the Analyse and Translate

functions.

4. Open the bilingual TTX in TagEditor.

D Note: If you do not want to prepare the file using the Translate function, you can open the Microsoft Word document directly in TagEditor.

5. Translate the document using the Workbench menu, toolbar or associated keyboard shortcuts.

6. Interactively verify tags using segment level verification.

7. During and after translation, save the bilingual file by clicking File – Save.

8. After translation, perform review and QA using the relevant checkers and verifiers.

9. Clean up the translated document and update the translation memory using the Clean Up command in Translator’s Workbench.

D Note: If you do not wish to overwrite the original source document, copy the bilingual file and the original

source document to a subfolder.

10. The clean-up process converts each document to its original format and restores the original *.doc/*.docx

extension.

11. If you actively updated the translation memory during translation, you can skip the Clean Up process and save

the target document using File – Save Target As.

12. Open the translated document in Microsoft Word to perform any final DTP/format

processing.

9 What features are included as part of the ―batch tools‖ in Translator’s Workbench?

Translator’s Workbench facilitates project management by providing powerful batch tools which enable analysis, pretranslation and post-production of documents. The batch tools are so called because they allow you to process documents individually or in batches.

The Analyse and Translate features help you to identify and apply reusable translation memory content before interactive translation begins. This means you can derive maximum benefit from existing translation memory content and reduce the requirement for human translation on new

projects. The Clean Up feature is used after translation to remove unwanted source text from translated documents and update the translation memory in accordance with the latest changes. This ensures maximum consistency between the content of your translated documents and your translation memory.

10 What is a ―fuzzy match‖?

Active term recognition uses the fuzzy matching technique to identify terms that are identical or similar to the content of your source text. Active term recognition can find not only reduced word forms (for example, base forms of verbs) but also root forms of compound words, even if the elements of these compound words are spread throughout the source segment.

11 What is a ―project package‖?

In the beginning, a localization project is created as a Package.

The concept of a project package allows the project manger to create a package containing all the files necessary for delivery to the translator, for example:

Master translation memory

Reference translation memories

Termbases

Translation files

Reference files

File format settings

Translation Memory settings – fuzzy matching values, penalties, substitution localization,

term recognition options etc.

All of the files are consolidated into a single package, which can be sent to the translator for

translation. The role of the translator is to receive the project package from the Project Manager. Using SDL Trados Synergy, the translator can open and translate the file in the project package, then return the package to the Project Manager once translation is complete.

NOTE:

The translator can also receive project packages relating to review or QA checks as part of the

localization project.

12 What is a ―termbase‖?

SDL MultiTerm is the terminology management solution. Designed as a multilingual, concept-based terminology system, SDL MultiTerm allows you to store terminology and related information in a customized database format. We refer to the SDL MultiTerm terminology database as a termbase.

13 What is a ―translation memory‖?

During translation, Translator’s Workbench builds a linguistic database to store the translated sentences or segments together with their corresponding source language equivalents. These segment pairs are referred to as translation units. At the same time, Translator’s Workbench builds an artificial neural network based on the content of the linguistic database. The neural network is designed to use fuzzy matching techniques to perform fast and efficient searches. The linguistic database and its associated neural network are together referred to as a translation memory.

14 What is a ―translation unit‖?

15 What is the function of ―active term recognition‖?

SDL MultiTerm is integrated with Translator’s Workbench to provide active term recognition during translation. This means that translations of terms stored in SDL MultiTerm are automatically suggested as you translate your documents. Even if Translator’s Workbench cannot find a suit able segment match for the current source segment in the translation memory, it can still help by retrieving information at term level.

Matching terms from the SDL MultiTerm termbase are highlighted in the Translator’s Workbench Source window. The corresp onding termbase entry is displayed in the Translator’s Workbench Terminology window. You can easily paste the target term into the document you are translating, or carry out a further termbase search.

Active term recognition uses the fuzzy matching technique to identify terms that are identical or similar to the content of your source text. Active term recognition can find not only reduced wordforms (for example, base forms of verbs) but also root forms of compound words, even if the elements of these compound words are spread throughout the source segment.

You can add terms directly to your termbase from within Translator’s Workbench and TagEditor, thereby expanding your termbase as you work.

Terminology consistency is supported through TagEditor by means of the SDL TRADOS Terminology Verifier. 16 What is the major function of SDL Trados Synergy 2007?

SDL Trados Synergy is primarily a project management tool, enabling automated project creation, centralized data management and project tracking. The application also provides features and functionality for translators who are working on projects created in the SDL Trados Synergy environment.

SDL Trados Synergy users can have one of two roles:

Project Manager role: This role allows users to create and manage projects and teams.

Translator role: This role allows users to translate, edit and review.

Project Manager Role

Using SDL Trados Synergy, project managers can:

Automate the process of project creation

Apply translation memories to project files and produce translation analysis figures during project creation

Allow project team members to update the project status

Enable project managers to track project progress at project, language and file level

Translator Role

Using SDL Trados Synergy, translators can:

Open project packages

Translate project packages in conjunction with SDL Trados 2007 and SDL MultiTerm 2007 functionality Connect directly to translation memories and termbases using the intranet or Internet

Update translation progress and status information

Return project packages

17 Which application do you use as a project management tool?

SDL Trados Synergy

18 Which application do you use to perform batch verification of files in SDL Trados 2007?

Once you have finished translating your files, you can use the document level verifier plug-ins to verify the files for errors such as punctuation errors, inconsistent translations or terminology, overlong file names, the presence of forbidden characters, duplicate hotkeys and so on.

You can also check that there are no tag errors in the translated .ttx files.

19 Which application should you use to create a translation memory? (p32)

Translator’s Workbench.

1. Browse to the File menu and choose New.

2. The Create Translation Memory dialog box will appear.

3. Select the source and target language.

4. Click Create.

5. Browse to the directory in which you want to save the translation memory.

6. Enter a name for the translation memory, then click Save.

7. A new, empty translation memory has now been created.

NOTE1: Trans lator’s Workbench automatically adds the *.tmw extension and creates the new translation memory with its associated neural network files. The associated files, with the extensions *.MDF, *.MTF, *.MWF and *.IIX, are saved to the same folder you selected for your translation memory.

You are now ready to begin translating.

NOTE2: You cannot change the translation memory set-up settings once the translation memory has been created. If you decide at a later stage that you want the translation memory to allow multiple translations for identical source segments, you will have to export it, then import it into a new translation memory that allows multiple 100% matches.

The next time you open Translator’s Workbench, the last translation memory you worked with will open automatically and the size of the program window will be the same as it was when you closed Translator’s Workbench.

20 Which application should you use to define the settings for the conversion of a Microsoft Word file to Trados Tag TTX file?

To modify some of the most commonly changed settings in the Word filter settings file, use the SDL Trados Filter Settings:

1. Go to the Start menu and choose Programs – SDL International – SDL Trados 2007 – Filters– Filter Settings.

2. If you are translating documents created in Microsoft Word 2000-2003, choose the

settings in the Microsoft Word 2000-2003 filter (DOC format).

3. If you are translating documents created in Microsoft Word 2007, choose the settings in the Microsoft Word 2007 filter (DOCX format).

4. Follow the directions shown for each setting to make changes.

1). How do you create a ―cross-reference‖ to another term entry in the termbase? (8-31)

Creating Cross-references in the Term Entry

In SDL MultiTerm, you can create cross-references from the descriptive fields of another term in the termbase. This means you can click the hyperlink to see the target term for your cross-reference and the corresponding entry. Cross-referenced text is formatted according to the properties specified in the active layout. In the

Flags layout, cross-references are highlighted in blue and underlined.

You can only create cross-references in text-only descriptive fields. In the termbase definition, textonly fields have the Text field type. It is not possible to create a cross-reference in descriptive fields in which the field content consists of picklist values, numerical data or multimedia files.

To create a cross-reference:

1. In Edit mode, ensure that the text field editing box is closed.

2. Scroll to highlight the text which is to be converted to a cross-reference.

3. Right-click the highlighted text to open the Cross-reference dialog box.

4. Select the language (Index) of the term to which you want to create a cross-reference by

choosing from the drop-down list under Index.

Creating Hyperlinks in the Term Entry

In SDL MultiTerm, you can create hyperlinks from the descriptive fields of a Web page. This means you can click the hyperlink and the Web page will be opened in an external browser.

Hyperlink text is formatted according to the properties specified in the active layout. In the Flags

layout, cross-references are highlighted in blue and underlined.

You can only create hyperlinks in text-only descriptive fields. In the termbase definition, text-only

fields have the Text field type. It is not possible to create a hyperlink in descriptive fields in which the field content consists of picklist values, numerical data or multimedia files.
