across Systems Offers Interactive Tutorials For Freelance Translators

PRLog (Press Release) – Karlsbad, Jan. 30, 2007. Due to constantly growing international integration, the volume of texts to be translated is increasing steadily. Hundreds of thousands of translators worldwide not only have to tackle this task from both a professional and a linguistical point of view, they also have to master the corresponding translation and project management technology.

across Systems – a leading manufacturer of Corporate Translation Management software – is now breaking new ground in knowledge transfer. In addition to web-based online and traditional classroom training sessions carried out by associations and partners, across is now also offering interactive tutorials for freelance translators.

The advantage of these tutorials is that you can start them any time and work through them at your own pace. Interactive elements ensure that the contents offered are actually understood and can then be efficiently put into practice when working with across.

Apart from the translation features as such, the networking between customers and translators, a feature in which across excels, receives special attention.

Currently, German and English versions are available, French and Spanish versions as well as tutorials on project management will follow.
