It seems more important than ever before for freelancers to have a full arsenal of CAT tools at their disposal, and to make judicious use of these to maximize their productivity. Given the prevailing rate structures and austere matching grids, translators who would hope to really make a go of it need to think in terms of cranking out a good 10,000 to 15,000 words per day, day after day, week after week, and often into the nights and weekends.
Yes, there are bugs to contend with, but that’s why it is so important to keep abreast of the latest updates, and to take full advantage of all the webinars (and, eventually, in-person trainings and congresses) to stay on top of everything.
