I think my subscription was actually an administrative error when Jost confused a book purchase with a subscription to the site, but I’m glad of the error, because now I have a clear idea of what is offered and know exactly the sort of users to whom I can recommend it.
The long-term value of the subscription will depend on what other content is added in the future; I can see OCR basics or advanced conversion techniques for complex PDFs and a number of other themes as being useful to translators and sufficiently marketable.

I’m sorry that we disappointed you with the price. My name’s Paul and I helped develop TranslatorsTraining. I don’t want to leave a comment here “marketing” our site – all I wanted to say is that if you’re interested, I’d like to offer you a free one-year’s subscription. No strings attached. Just go to the website, click the “contact us” tab and send us an email. We’ll figure out how we can verify that you are “MT” – maybe Corinne can double-check your email address – and I’ll set you up.
Hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Paul

It’s a little disappointing to see the price so high: with today’s exchange rate, that’s $50 (USD), which is more than half the price of the less-than-market leader tool that I use. :-)

It’s kind of like a “Consumer Reports” for translators, it sounds like–although Consumer Reports is a nonprofit and you can subscribe to its Web site for $26. I’ll be interested to hear feedback from someone who can afford to subscribe!
