5 likes1,821 views
The case study discusses the implementation of the OmegaT team project feature aimed at improving the productivity of language service providers. Key issues addressed include the need for new file filters and the reliability of hosted vs. free servers, and lessons learned emphasize the importance of obtaining technical support early in the process. Recommendations for future improvements include automating communication and training sessions for translators.
