Am I getting something wrong here?

I would be more than grateful if someone could help me with my induction to Trados.

The program has acquired many new features in the meantime but the basic process is still the same. Life's notes may help you get up to speed so you can get the full benefit of the Trados tutorials.

Good luck and enjoy exploring computer-assisted translation!

Thank you! Nov 26, 2006

Dear Giles,

Thanks so much for your suggestion. Not only is the text helpful but also quite funny (at least the introductory note:).

Thanks again.

Maja
