Good morning,
Many thanks for the opportunity to stay in touch with the developments in the translation field, while I only had the opportunity to follow just a presentation by Mrs. Braeuer on 30th Sept. I am glad to have had a look at the current trends, thanks very much!

Time From To Content
11:50 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All what you are listing here is available in DVX3
11:50 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All because the other two things you mention are in DVX3
11:51 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All recognized terms are not marked in any way in the source segment
11:51 Apr 8, 2014 hnoronha: 556405 All Here is my take on this: I have been in this industry for 29 years and was the guy who first requested Iko and Jochen to create a tool that can remember a sentence that was done at Trados in 1985.
11:52 Apr 8, 2014 hnoronha: 556405 All DVX is the most user-friendly of all the tools but badly needs to move away from Access
11:52 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Pavel: the highlighting of source terms found by AutoSearch is something we're considering
11:52 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All but most of the private feedback we've had from individual users is that this is actually not particularly useful and is quite distracting
11:53 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All so we'll obviously be making it optional
11:53 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Both Trados and MemoQ have it as standard, but if you make it available in any form in Deja vu it will be greatly appreciated.
11:53 Apr 8, 2014 hnoronha: 556405 All Trados database processing is 10 times faster; and the databases are smaller. The 2 GB limit on Access databases is unacceptable in a modern tool. MemoQ databases stink too - far too slow and unweildy
11:54 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All hnoronha – please, keep the conversation civil and respectful.
11:55 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Pavel: what did Hildreth say?
11:56 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Please, do not use words like 'stink', your point is clear even without making it too negative.
11:56 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Hildreth: one of the main reasons why we didn't make the change in DVX3 was to allow for interoperability between DVX2 and DVX3
11:57 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All based on our experience when going from DV3 to DVX, and then from DVX to DVX2, it was clear that most people expected to versions to co-exist and interoperate
11:59 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Back to the point: Deja vu x2's QA is unusable. Explained in detail here: http://www.proz.com/forum/d%C3%A9j%C3%A0_vu_support/230066-djv_x2_areas_to_improve_wishlist-page4.html
12:00 Apr 8, 2014 Nuri Razi: 941714 All Hi Everybody
12:00 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All If a term is entered in the termbase as stand alone and also as part of an expression, the QA will issue a warning if both target terms are not used at the same time in the same segment.
12:01 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All Which makes no sense and is a huge waste of time in a big project.
12:01 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Pavel: that sounds like a bug... it should only be marked as an error if it was in the Lexicon (which has a higher priority than the TB)
12:02 Apr 8, 2014 Drew MacFadyen: 601248 All http://www.proz.com/virtual-conferences/604/program/9448 Déjà Vu X3 training for beginners will begin shortly
12:02 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All I'll make sure we check this and get this fixed ASAP
12:02 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Hildreth, SQL Server can handle huge DBs, but is not particularly fast if you want to use it from a desktop application
12:03 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All so it makes sense for a server-based product (where the network itself is a bigger I/O bottleneck)
12:03 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All but for a desktop application, something like sqlite is probably more appropriate
