Conference feedback

I enjoyed learning many aspects of the translation profession during the annual virtual event for Translators very much. Thank you so much for organising such an important event on annual basis for us to update our knowledge and skills.


Drew MacFadyen.. Thank you for this nice event. Unfortuantely, I can not find my pdf attendance for this event. Only 2015 is there in my profile and the details of this year but no certificate whatsoever for 2016. Could you do somethinf about this issue please. Waiting your reply.


Great event. Very useful. Thank you so much!


While not being able to attend each session for obvious reasons (I am thinking of taking a day off next year!), what I saw and heard being discussed was extremely useful for all translators. Thanks for organising this interesting and relevant event, and for the possibility of downloading individual presentations on demand!

Time From To Content
16:33 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All it is partly due to not being able to accurately ascertain/confirm if attendees have actually watched/participated in the entire event
16:33 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All or a letter of thanks
16:34 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All it would be possible to show up for 5 minutes and get a certificate...which would make the certificate not very usefull...so we don't issue them for these virtual/free events
16:34 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All I've just received my letter of thanks!

16:38 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All DÉJÀ VU FEEDBACK Segment level checks: Déjà vu checks empty translations but it does not check forgotten translations, skipped translations, partial translations, incomplete translations, corrupt char
16:39 Apr 8, 2014 Etienne Tessier: 1828111 All You can check such things by customizing your QA check module using SQL statement
16:40 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All DVX3 warns you about missing translations because they can prevent the export from working.
16:40 Apr 8, 2014 Etienne Tessier: 1828111 All You can have a look at this if you want:
16:40 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All But it can't tell if a translation for a specific segment is wrong or incomplete.
16:40 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All As Etienne says, you can use the various QA functions to check for specific things.
16:44 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All خن
16:44 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All ok

16:45 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All another point
16:45 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All In consistency: Déjà vu checks target consistency only. But it doesn’t check source consistency
16:45 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All I wait your replies
16:46 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All regarding to this point
16:49 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All sometimes
16:49 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All there are errors in the source
16:50 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All so, I always check the source before translation
