This was the first time I attended to a Proz Virtual Conference, and I must say I enjoyed each and every presentation. Thank you!

Excellent!! Very useful, Thank You!!!


Thank you, ProZ.com, for this wonderful, FREE even, that could be attended practically by anyone in or interested in language services. As far as I know, it is the ONLY one of its kind worldwide! That, in itself, is a wonderful offering for all of us in the profession. All presentations provide a state-of-the-art VISION and tools that may be applied immediately. This effort is really admirable. As a presenter and and attendee, I thank the opportunity of bringing my content to others and learning a lot from so many people! Thank you.

Not bad, I'd say

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
10:19 May 28, 2014 Poly Patter: 1922254 All thanks
10:20 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Ali: can you watch the presentation in the evening? The biggest change is probably the Template projects, where you can set up projects and automate repetitive work very fast.
10:20 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All On average, it saves you 80% of the clicks when setting up a project.
10:21 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I am thinking to add MemoQ in my pool of CAT Tools.
10:21 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Ali: I can only recommend that :)
10:22 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All Hi. Will the presentations be available on proZ or youtube after the virtual day? I am affraid I will not be able to attend all I could wish.
10:22 May 28, 2014 Poly Patter: 1922254 All Ali, memoQ is very good, I recommend it!!
10:22 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All @Roberto, sure, presentations will be available on the virtual event page
10:22 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All Perfect, thanks!
10:23 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All While we are here, can I ask a question to all of you? Is anybody here working with others as a team regularly?
10:24 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All Do you mean as freelancers sharing a common project or as translators in a company environment?
10:24 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All What limitations are there in trial version? I mean the differences compared to full version.
10:24 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Yes, I meant freelancers... people who work together but don't have a company.
10:25 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All Ali: only the 45 days, nothing else.
10:25 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All But there must be some functional limitations.
10:25 May 28, 2014 Edit Erdodi: 1648720 All Ali: There are no limitation in our trial versions.
10:25 May 28, 2014 István Lengyel: 142959 All No, there aren't any, Ali. It's the same as translator pro.
10:27 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All No, but I can tell you it is a hot topic among freelancers. With rates going down for some and the chance to loose a direct client (or LSP) if you do not comply with speed and quality requirements...
10:27 May 28, 2014 Roberto Silva: 63936 All ...it makes sense.
10:27 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I used it several times for testing the specific issues in my projects. Like reaktion time or when I had problems with a file format I tried the job in MemoQ too. But never did it my everyday's routin
10:27 May 28, 2014 Edit Erdodi: 1648720 All Except for time limitation. Trials are time limited for 30 days or 45 days in case of the memoQ translator pro.
10:27 May 28, 2014 jackassik: 1928659 All I've seen term "TMs" used several times. What does it mean?
10:28 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All Translation Memories
10:28 May 28, 2014 jackassik: 1928659 All oww, thank you.
10:29 May 28, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All Thanks for the information Istvan, Poly and editer. Have a nice day.
