Post title: Hi Robert
I have similar concerns: although I took the first two classes on Trados 2014, i am still a bit unsure with the sending of the TM I generated to my customer.
I am supposed to do so? He hid not explicitly requested them and did not send me one, so I had to start from scratch since this job is on a very specialized topic that I never handled before.
My project contains only two files but they are both quite large and I am done with one of them and I do not like the poor level of propagation that I obtain with the second one.
I also have a problem with term bases: I have taken as a base some of the free term base that are available on the app store but it seems that I cannot add terms to this term base.
Now I have tried to generate a specific term base but the tools do not agree and request that l my term base contain at least 10,000 words ! what the hell? I am quite sure I am doing something wrong, but I am not sure what.
I am a bit tired of translating the same words again and again: i have lowered the percentage that will make trados propose a translation from 70 % to 60 % so that I have a better propagation but still I am not satisfied by the end result.
Any help would be welcomed.
If I cannot obtain help from the community I will ask tech support since I bought it and will keep you posted on the results.
If you contact me via mail through PROZ i will send you the training material that I have gotten after these courses.
Thank you in advance.
Kind Regards
Ivan
