CertificateMar 18, 2011

Hello Jaime and Proz!

I signed up for your webinar today, and I have 2 questions:

1. Is there an online certificate provided for this course? If so...on to question 2:
2. I may not be able to make the live session. If I can't attend but review the materials and webinar, can I still get the certificate?

Thanks very much!

Recording?Mar 24, 2011

Although I've registered, I cannot attend but would like to watch/listen to a recording later the same day or the next day. Is this possible?
Have looked at the FAQs on Free Webinars but they are silent on the question of recordings.
Many thanks.

Overview will be very helpfulMar 25, 2011

Hi mitraashutosh,

The overview will be extremely helpful for you if you are starting from zero. I have organized quite a few of these webinars with Jamie in the past and he is one of the best, always receives high praise for the sessions. He will be showcasing many features and elements throughout the hour, and some may be a little advanced for you as a complete novice.

Hi mitraashutosh,

The overview will be extremely helpful for you if you are starting from zero. I have organized quite a few of these webinars with Jamie in the past and he is one of the best, always receives high praise for the sessions. He will be showcasing many features and elements throughout the hour, and some may be a little advanced for you as a complete novice. That said, I am confident that you will take away quite a lot of understanding and knowledge on how to perform translation work using Wordfast.

The software program has a fully functioning demo (limited to 500 translation units in the TM) as well. The demo version and the webinar should get you started.

Regards,

Drew

I'm really disappointed that this Webinar didn't take place and hope there will be another one.
But this is technology... I just would like to know if you could provide the 2 links shown at the end because I didn't have time to note and do not know where to look for...
Thanks a lot!

I have received the email for the repeat session next week, but unfortunately I am not sure I will be able to participate at the time scheduled.

Therefore I too would really appreciate being able to access the links shown at the end of yesterday's session.

Many thanks!
