Topic: Working with Trados projects on MateCat
Poster: LH Almeida
Hi there, everyone. Some time ago, I lost the opportunity to get some jobs because I didn't have Trados, and it's still too expensive for me right now.
However, I just found out about MateCat, and sort of fell in love with it. I tried to open SDLXIFF files, and it opened. I also tried to put together three files that came with a project, the pdf and two .itd and it even recognized the parts of the file that had already been marked as translated by other translators that worked on the file.
My question is: is there anything I can't do on MateCat, in a way that makes it impossible for me to work with Trados files?
Like, if the client asks about the unclean file, I can just export in SDLXIFF, and if they ask the clean file, I can just download it. Is there anything that would prevent me from getting jobs?
Thanks a lot.
