Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending (virtually) the first SDL Multiterm Webinar - a presentation on how to use Multiterm to structure a termbase by Michael Wetzel. Although my technical incapacity meant I missed the first couple of minutes (I couldn't get the VOIP to work!) I could then relax and enjoy an introduction to Multiterm in the comfort of my own big chair.
I am no techie, but basically Mr Wetzel's desktop appeared on my screen and the presentation played itself out with Mr W talking us through the advantages of Multiterm over Excel and the like, going on to describe the basics of termbase structure in the SDL program.
I was ready to be presented with a sales spiel and was pleasantly surprised to find there was a large section of the middle of the presentation that was really useful to me as a frustrated Multiterm user (there was a little promotion, but it was within the bounds of reason).
Overall then, (and to my surprise as I am always wary of anything offered free by large corporations) I was favourably impressed, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.
I presume the Webinar was offered only to recent Trados/Multiterm customers, but I will let you know if they are planning to open these up to the general public when they get back to me.
(30 mins later - the SDL Marketing Initiatives Manager Massimo Ghislandi said they sent invitations out to license holders, but they were happy for this to be sent on to "friends" - so basically if you know someone with Trados/Multiterm and you fancy a bit of free input, get them to forward future invitations to you.)
