Does anyone use specific software (rather than bits of paper or a whiteboard) to manage their translation projects? If so, which one? Would you recommend it to others, and why? Are there any disadvantages or things that you don't like about the system? I'm thinking of buying such a system to better organise my time, but don't know what's around and - more importantly - good.

| For translators | Jul 27, 2010 |
Hi
If you are a translator and don't outsource your jobs then I would definitely recommend Translation Office 3000, it is specifically designed for translators, lets you keep track of all your clients, projects, rates, invoices, etc. and is highly customizable. You can find it in http://www.to3000.com/ and they give you a 30 day free trial.
Frankly I could not live without it.

Hi Jan,
I have been using OTM since its pilot phase in January - easy to use, no installation required, safe data transmission.
Best regards,
Ralf

Should I buy TO3000 or Projetex if I work translate 'privately' as well as run a translation agency?
I finished a translation project a time ago with my two Chinese colleagues where we had five Chinese translators working for us. Now, for future translation projects we would need some software for adminstration and bookkeeping. So we wonder if Projetex could be an alternative for us?

I finished a translation project a time ago with my two Chinese colleagues where we had five Chinese translators working for us. Now, for future translation projects we would need some software for adminstration and bookkeeping. So we wonder if Projetex could be an alternative for us?
What features are included in Projetex? The most important is that we can do bookkeeping in multiple currencies (we will receive payments mostly in EUR, USD and GBP), make up the balance-sheets as well as handle other economical tasks as invoicing etc. Can we do these tasks with Projetex?
Finally, as I also myself work 'privately' with translations (aside from our common translation agency), I would need also to do bookkeeping and make up the balance-sheets for my own translations. Would this be possible to do also with Projetex, to separate the two businesses (my own business and my joint-venture)? Or would I need to purchase TO3000 separately for this?
Is everything in TO3000 included in Projetex? Or are there features that are available only in TO3000? ▲ Collapse

| Try my own project management SW | Dec 20, 2010 |
Hi Jan!
I have created my own DB program for project management & invoicing which goes by the name dsTransManager (dsTM). It is a self-contained, single-user HSQL database application for freelance translators based on OOo BASE (part of the OpenOffice suite). You can download a fully documented copy from my downloads page. If you like it, spread the word.
