Thanks for your kind words, Ben.
Just a few points re other comments in this thread:
- Studio can process editable PDFs from 2011 onwards, and scanned PDFs in 14 languages from 2015 onwards. Chinese isn't one of those languages.
- Errors not being able to generate target translation. I recommend always doing "save as" as soon as you open your document in the Editor window. That way you know whether you'll have problems saving as at the end of the translation.
- Multiterm is a separate program (with a separate download) but comes bundled with all Studio versions except Studio Starter.
- To export a termbase to Excel, it's easiest to use the Glossary Converter app: [url removed]
