4.) pay for the full version of Trados.

Thank you, Attila Dec 1, 2008

Thank you for your suggestion, i have another question here..
while i installing Trados 2007 FL, when come to the language selection, is that a must that i have to add the "English" as my target languages? if i added English, that's mean i only have 4 more options to choose. is that alright if i just add 5 others languages excluded English?

Many thanks
Best Regards,
