translation zone - bilingual filesNov 8, 2014

Hi Irene,

I just watched the training and I did not understand what is this translation zone software for. The one you mentioned at the end of trados / wordfast exchange. Something about bilingual files...

Thank you

Hello again,

If you don't install these plug-ins you will not be able to open bilingual Wordfast of MemSource files.
