File Formats

 

While machine translation (like DeepL or Google Translate) is not used at Ample Translations, translation software like SDL Trados, MemoQ, XTM or Phase is integral to my work. I use these tools to create my own translation memories and termbases, but I do not rely on a search engine to complete the actual translation. Standard formats I work with include: 

​

  • MS Office (DOC, RTF, TXT, XLS, PPT, PUB)

  • Web files (HTML, XML)

  • Email and PDF (InDesign) files

  • Trados files (packages, SDLXLIFF)

  • Wordfast files

  • MemoQ files

  • Memsource
