SDL International announced the early-bird release of SDL Trados 2006. This release provides integrated terminology management, sophisticated quality checking, flexibility in choice of translation editing environment and enhancements such as support for OpenOffice and TMX in a single product with a single license key. SDL Trados 2006 offers a choice of Translators Workbench, TagEditor and SDLX editing environments. It includes new support for Quark, InDesign CS2 and Java files.
