    Took last free webinarFeb 21

    Hello there,

    I took intro to Fluency about 1 month ago. It seems that this is a great program. It was stated during the webinar that Fluency wants to make this program available to ProZ members with some sort of discount purchase options. Any news about this yet?

    Thank you.

    TGB coming soon...special offers to attendeesFeb 22

    We had made a special offer via direct mail for a discount on Fluency. The message was sent last week...but you may not have that option turned on. To be sure that you receive emails liks that you can update your email settings at http://www.proz.com/?sp=profile&sp_mode=settings and then select email settings and "other"

    There will likely be a Fluency TGB in the coming month - check http://www.proz.com/tgb and/or make sure your notification settings permit being notified when new TGB's are available.

    Lastly, we will likely make a discount offer to all those that register for the Fluency free webinar. So you may wish to register, even if you do not attend, that way you will receive the discount offer for registrants.

    Regards,

    Drew

    I took an earliear webinar, and bought FluencyFeb 22

    I really like working with this tool, the two main reasons are that most aspects of a good CAT tool are covered, but what I like best is the great User Interface and the intuitive handling of all functions. AND if I do not know how something works and do not find it in the (well-organized) handbook, I get excellent advice from the service team.
    Best investment in a long time!
    I book the session now for my trainee, as I got an excellent deal for a second licence.

    DiscountFeb 22

    Hi Drew,

    thank you so much. This discount is great. I was just wondering if I am translator EnglishGerman should I get option "one Language pair" ? This might be a silly question but I just wanted to be sure.

    Thanks,
    Mary

    Language PairsFeb 23

    Mary,

    With any version of Fluency you can translate any language pair. The "one language pair" distinction is because Fluency includes glossaries/terminology as well. I hope this helps.

    More clarificationFeb 23

    Just so there is no confusion a language pair enables a user to translate in both directions. If you chose French/English you could work English>French and also French>English.

    Hope this helps. See you on the webinar.

    This is indeed very unclear -Feb 24

    Drew


    So, this "one language pair" etc. distinction does not mean "to translate one language pair" etc. but "to translate one language pair bidirectional" - correct?

    But as at the same time it is said that "all ISO languages" are supported, how does the system know, like or dislike which combinations in which direction a user is working in?

    The explanations about this are completely unclear. There should be an asterix to all those "one language" etc. mentions and a clear telling what they mean.

    glossaries and dictionariesFeb 24

    The software could work with all ISO languages - you have to pick one pair and the software then comes with that pairs appropriate language support - dictionaries, etc. The translation memory component would only permit you to use one pair (bidirectionally).

    I will ask Fluency staff to further clarify.

    Language pairsFeb 24

    Let me try clarifying again. Regardless of the number of language pairs you purchase, you can use Fluency to translate any language pair. So if you purchase English > French, you can still use Fluency to translate English > Spanish or any other language pair. The only difference is that the language resources (glossaries/terminology) included in Fluency will not be available for the English> Spanish translation. TM and user/client terminology handling will not be affected.

    The reasons to purchase the additional language pairs would be to have the additional language resources provided by Fluency - but you will not be limited in your ability to use the software for any language pair regardless of whether you have purchased the built-in glossaries/terminology available. Language resources provided by Fluency are bidirectional - so if you purchase English > Spanish, the resources will be available for Spanish > English as well.

    Please contact our support or sales staff if any of this is unclear - support@westernstandard.com or sales@westernstandard.com
