Translators in Residence

Most of my writing for education is intended for those already familiar to some extent with professional tools and tasks, particularly for commercial translation work. But in this free webinar, I'm going back to basics, and examining what independent tools installed locally on our personal equipment offer, and why they still matter in the Online Age.

I'll talk mostly about two such software workspaces, one long familiar to me (memoQ) and another (Scrivener) quite new, and how I use them in my writing projects and translation work. And why these are the best options I've explored.

This talk is intended for experienced wordworkers who may ask why the "old" ways are still relevant, and for aspirants to the multilingual world of words who want a good start, apart from the too-frequent grind of linguistic sausage.

Feel free to share this and help raise awareness of ways we can move toward better practice at the wordface.
