Trados Studio 2024 allows you to work from anywhere, on your own computer (off line), or work in your Online Editor via your Cloud account from any device.
Trados Studio 2024 allows you to tap into your own Large Language Models (i.e. OpenAI or Azure LLMs) whilst translating, to generate translations whilst using your preferred terminology.
Purchase a new PERPETUAL / SUBSCRIPTION Trados Studio Freelance 2024 license and elevate your business by using Linguistic AI in your translation workflows.
The PERPETUAL license can be used indefinitely and has a once-off cost paid upfront. This type of license usually is accompanied by a software maintenance agreement paid for annually. An example of a perpetual license for Freelancers is the Trados Studio 2024 Freelance license, which is a desktop-installed license, with cloud capabilities.
Perpetual licenses will over time become out-dated as this license type must keep up with its underlying hardware and operating system that it requires to function optimally. This will necessitate additional future costs to upgrade the license to a newer version to function optimally. This license type provides an upgrade path that eventually will come to an end, whereafter engineering and technical support will come to a close.
The SUBSCRIPTION license provides for the utilisation of the software over a limited time period, which allows payment per user. The annual subscription includes access to support services, the latest updates and automatic upgrades to new versions of the software that may become available during the subscription period.
An example of a subscription license for Freelancers is the Trados Studio 2024 Freelance license, which is a desktop-installed license, with cloud capabilities.
Subscription licenses always make the latest, up-to-date features and upgrades available to the user in real-time, and therefore with minimal compatibility issues.
