Conference feedback

I wasn't able to see all the conferences I wanted due to the different time zones but I enjoyed the few I attended! Thank you!


Thanks for all your effort to make the conference so enriching! I learnt quite a lot new things. Specially thanks to Sara Colombo. I found her session very interesting.

I only experienced problems with audio in one session, but was able to follow the conference anyway.

Time From To Content
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Again, Deja vu is the only of the big 3 that currently has this option. It is time consuming to use a different set of keys or 3 keys to manually autopropagate.
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All they expect things to work logically from the start
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I did something wrong I think
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All but then everybody's logic is different regarding many small details :-)
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I will restart buying and if anything I will write to you
11:15 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All Am I consuming your time?
11:15 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All What information were you entering when you received the error message?
11:15 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Hi to everyone again! Please note we are offering a special 30% discount on all licenses and upgrades today! You only need to enter VIRTCONF in the discount field on http://atril.com/store!

11:15 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All On a related note: If a segment has been pretranslated and by the time you enter it for manual translation the program has a better 'knowledge' of how it should be translated, this better match is not
11:15 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All http://atril.com/store
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All automatically entered, replacing the one that came from pretranslation.
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All a lot of information, but it show the state/province section in red
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Right?
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All but there is no option for selecting state/province
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Epa: right, normal propagation won't overwrite exact matches
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/program/9445 TEAMserver presentation is going on now
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All whether they're inserted manually or by Pretranslate
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All it will overwrite fuzzy ones, though
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All I spend 10-12 hours per day translating in all 3 tools: Trados, MemoQ and Deja vu, and the inconsistencies that Deja vu creates in the transaltion of identiacal segments is my greatest problem
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Oh, OK. As you are from Turkey, you don't need to include a state or province.
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All with this tool.
11:16 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Do you need it to appear on your invoice?
11:17 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Pavel: as I said, we'll look at how Trados and MemoQ handle this
