Hi everybody,



I\'m considering the idea of buying Trados, but I would like to get some advice first. My first question is what is the difference between the Trados 5.5 Freelance Edition and the Trados 5.5 Freelance Power Pack? Anybody out there who could explain it in a simple & clear way? Hope I am not asking too much.



Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Ariadna

I had to study it carefully before making sense of all their multiple offers, products

and packages. I was investigating a few days ago because I wanted to make sure I had all necessary for my work and the latest versions of everything.

trados Dec 6, 2002

I bought Trados Freelance 5.5 when it came out and later on was offered the iX termbase, which I accepted and downloaded. This iX termbase is easier to use than the termbase in the 5.5 freelance. I hear there is a \"new\" Trados on the way (possibly a Trados 6).

Hi.

I\'d like to know in what way exactly it is easier to use. Thanks for sharing.
