Re: [TF-dev] CTI projects completion and restart today

Hi Fran and all,

Idiom Desktop Workbench can be downloaded from the links below [1] / [2].

Steps to follow:
- Provide some user info to SDL and download Desktop Workbench, install.
- Let me know and I will send you XLZ files for translation / editing. 
(Cannot be exported from CTI.)
- Translate / fix xlz files in Desktop Workbench; save and send me back 
the xlz files.
- I will import xlz files to our system and integrate.

If this sounds too complicated, let's bear with the current CTI and let 
me inform you on some CTI upcoming improvements in the meantime.

Thank you!
Petra
