Conference feedback

Very useful tips. Thank you!


The 3-day event is a wonderful opportunity to learn about so many different aspects of the language industry. But, horror of horrors!! At the bottom of the page, a line reads "The following exhibitors are in there booths, ready to answer your questions." Can it be true that at an event for LINGUISTS, this blatant misuse of "there" instead of "their" can appear on your page? Has noone else brought this to your attention? It´s terribly discrediting for your organization to hire people that don´t know how to use "there", "their" and "they´re" properly You need an editor/reviewer, to avoid this from happening again. Let me know if I can be of assistance ;)


Thanks for all important information!


Thank you very much for such a great and wonderful experience. Very well organised and with very interesting presentations.


Thank you for organizing such educational presentation.


Great fruitful day, with plenty of professional lucrative tips that will surely help us in excelling in the field.
Thank you all :)

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 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All http://atril.com/store
11:15 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All (Sorry, I was answering a phone call)
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
