Umm, unsolicited almost ad, I am merely a very satisfied customer of theirs,
but PRTi (or CTC) (www.prti.com.au) not only translate but manage it for us
as well. We can get the trados files if we wanted, but there's no point.

Subject: Translation Project Management
Hi,
My company has completed an Italian translation of our product and I'm
responsible for managing and maintaining the translation of our online help
and training. I was wondering if some more experienced people out there
could offer some advice, web pointers, books, etc. on managing the
translation process, including translation memories.
I've received training on Trados and will be meeting with my group to
discuss how to organize files, including help and training files and the
translation memories for future translations. We're expected to produce a
new Italian version of our product about 4 weeks after the American release
goes out this fall and a Spanish version of our product is planned for early
2002.
I'm trying to make the process go as smoothly as possible in addition to my
other duties of continuing to update the online help file for our product.
A landmark hotel, one of America's most beautiful cities, and
three and a half days of immersion in the state of the art:
