Amazing sessions from free tools to mistakes to avoid to managing client expectations (to name a few). Great added value and by far the best way to celebrate Translator's Day. Many thanks!

A great thank you to all of you who made it possible for this event to happen! I learned a lot and will continue to do so with all of the videos I haven't yet had the time to watch. Looking forward to the conference next year! :)

Time From To Content
16:50 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All to avoide errors in the translated text
16:50 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All as I inform the client that there are errors in the source
16:51 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All you got the point Mr. Etienne
16:52 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All yes
16:53 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All لاعف Déjà vu checks target consistency only. But it doesn’t check source consistency
16:54 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Déjà Vu can check whether the translation includes the appropriate translations for specific terms in the source.
16:54 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All But there is no way it can check that the source is correct. Only a human can do that.
16:55 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Can you be more specific about the kinds of errors you think it could spot in the source? What kind of inconsistencies?
16:56 Apr 8, 2014 Hanaamohamed: 1136024 All consistency in general
16:57 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All I'm afraid that is a task that can only be accomplished by a human. There is no way we can tell if the source text is using the right words or not.
16:57 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Even modern grammar checkers, such as the one in Word, can barely tell if a sentence is grammatically correct.
16:58 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Determining whether terminology or certain grammatical structures are used consistently is currently beyond the reach of computers, I'm afraid.
16:58 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Unless we're misunderstanding what you're asking.
17:06 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Hi, we are approaching the end of this day.
17:07 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All We'll be closing the chat in a few minutes, if you have a last message to send do not hesitate!
17:08 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Also, we are always available to answer you on [email protected]
17:12 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All Thanks to all the participants, visitors and organizers of the event! I hope everybody enjoyed the day! The Atril-team did so!
17:12 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All bye bye
17:12 Apr 8, 2014 Claudio@Atril: 1765942 All A pleasure talking to you! See you soon
