Translators Training is a site that offers video presentations showing how different translation environment tools (TEnTs) go through their unique translation processes to achieve an identical translation goal.

Over 15 of the leading translation tools are reviewed. For the first presentation series, we asked the software vendors this question: "Using your tools, what's the best way to translate this Word document?" In the video presentations, you'll see how each of the most popular TEnTs translated that Word document and added terms to the teminology database (if they have one).

By seeing each tool do the same thing, you are able to compare oranges to oranges. With a common goal and a level playing field, you can finally judge the translation tools for yourself.

Check back often. We will continue to add content on a regular basis.

This first set of presentations is really not aimed at those translators who are already experts with their chosen software tool. These presentations could be seen as an introduction to each tool's functionality. We recommend that you watch some preview presentations to get a good idea of the level of expertise of the intended audience. Jost Zetzsche's introduction is also a helpful resource for more information.

The website is a collaboration between Jost Zetzsche of International Writers' Group and Intrawelt, a leading language services and eLearning solutions company based in Italy.

The presentation parameters were sent to the software vendors who then produced the screen-capture and images. Jost wrote the script and Intrawelt's eLearning experts created the final presentations.
