5 essential tools for boosting translation productivity with Word documents

Learn how five essential tools within the TransTools and TransTools+ plug-ins for Microsoft Word can transform your translation workflow, helping you work more efficiently and deliver consistently high-quality translations.

TransTools and TransTools+ are productivity plug-ins for Microsoft Word that automate many of the repetitive document-preparation and post-processing tasks translators encounter when working with Word files. In this webinar, participants will receive a brief introduction to the plug-ins and explore five practical tools designed to simplify common translation workflows and improve productivity.

Who should attend this webinar?

This webinar is designed for professional translators who work with Microsoft Word documents, particularly those using CAT tools and looking to streamline document preparation, translation, and post-processing tasks. It will be especially useful for freelance translators working with direct clients, as well as in-house translators and language professionals who regularly handle Word-based translation projects.

Why this webinar is relevant and timely

For translators working with direct clients, Microsoft Word documents are an everyday reality. Yet many routine document-preparation tasks, such as removing redundant tags, correcting segmentation issues, translating only selected content, creating bilingual documents, and carrying out bulk replacements, consume valuable time and interrupt the translation process. This webinar showcases five practical tools that automate these repetitive tasks, helping translators work more efficiently, stay focused, and deliver better translations.

Key takeaways for participants 

• Minimise tags when translating Word documents with CAT tools

• Avoid improper segmentation (broken sentences) in CAT tools caused by redundant breaks in Word files

• Easily translate specific parts of a Word document in the CAT tool, instead of the whole document

• Quickly create dual-language (side-by-side) translations based on a single-language document

• Perform bulk text replacement in Word documents before or after translation.
