I really like the event. We had the opportunity to learn some tips about how to develop our career and also ask and discuss about lots of different subjects.
A good mix that help us have a wide idea about the market and how to face it.

Thanks to all the participants!


Highly motivating and educative! The best forum where translators are able to interact and exchange ideas. Can't wait for next year's event.

Time From To Content
13:05 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All But truth be spoken most of their customers most probably are still using x2, so thses are valid ombservations.
13:08 Apr 8, 2014 ulzii: 1763290 All I hope that introducing new softare will open us new gate, is it right?
13:10 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All Hi Herbert. Hope you're doing well
13:11 Apr 8, 2014 Herbert Eppel: 82284 All Hi Drew, I'm just watching Etienne's presentation, and there is a terrible echo! Also, the slides are very fuzzy.
13:11 Apr 8, 2014 ulzii: 1763290 All I presume that Atril Déjà vu chat is too complex than trados, wordfast so on
13:13 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All DejaVu is by no means more complex than Trados
13:13 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Why do you think that?
13:14 Apr 8, 2014 ulzii: 1763290 All I mean in terms of structure
13:16 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Perhaps you are put off by the SQL needed. right?
13:16 Apr 8, 2014 Herbert Eppel: 82284 All The echo is gone now, but the slides are still very fuzzy, to the point of being illegible
13:16 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All That you need to build or modify SQL queries...
13:19 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Hi to all
13:19 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Welcome back, Blandine
13:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All We often hear from our users that Déjà Vu is much more intuitive than Trados
13:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All what do you all think?
13:20 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All would you say the same?
13:21 Apr 8, 2014 Claudio@Atril: 1765942 All sorry, had to run for a few minutes
13:21 Apr 8, 2014 Claudio@Atril: 1765942 All ok, I'll aks my colleague to send me your welcome letter so I can forward it to you.
13:23 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All :\ these questions does not seem to generate many results. Anyway, Etienne is having a training session right now, for the ones who have not discovered the look&feel of DVX3 it is still time to join
13:23 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Alright. Thanks Claudio!
13:24 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Trados is less intuitive than anything, really.
13:24 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All But when I first purchased DVX2 I was able to get working the very same day.
13:24 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Then I read through the manual, for completeness sake, and got proficient within a week.
13:24 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All that's good to hear!
13:25 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All That said, it would be less intimidating if the complexity of SQL queries could be mitigated a bit.
