Thank you for possibility to attend to this event for free and to know a new useful information!!!


Even though I was not able to attend all sessions due to relevant reasons, I would like to thank deeply all people who have done their best for the success of the conference. It was my first time to attend such conference of high level, and I have to say that I have learned a lot due to the diversity of topics. This is another way of refreshing our mind. Once again thank you for the possibility of downloading individual presentation on demand.

Great virtual event series. Thanks for this refreshment program.


The event was great! Although I couldn't attend every single session for work reasons, I'm thrilled that we get to have access to the content for another 90 days. I loved how varied the topics were. Well done, ProZ, thank you for a great translator's day!

Time From To Content
11:35 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All I've just realized that people are adding the 20€ +1 activation code to their orders, but it's included for free in the offer. We may have to make some 20€ refunds later
11:35 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All But still, I upgraded to the latest and greatest Trados for 120 EUR, but I need to pay two or four times more to upgrade my existing Deja vu license. The minimum state regulated per month salary in BG
11:35 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All is around 130 EUR
11:35 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All If you are interested in MT and how we approach Machine Translation, join the panel discussion at 2 GMT with Jost Zetzsche, Herbert Eppel, Daniel Benito and myself.
11:36 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All This needs to be considered carefully.
11:36 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All ("Greatest" and "Trados" in the same sentence? Wow!)
11:36 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All For free?
11:36 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All haaa...
11:36 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Claudio told me that.
11:36 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All 'latest and greatest' is an expression in English, it means 'newest' :)
11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All we'll discuss this later
11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Yes, I know, but still...
11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All for now, let them order

11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All That said, they most probably are the market leaders as we speak, so...
11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All We can say on the general chat that they don't need to add it to their orders, that it will automatically be included.
11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All we have not publically told any one that +1 would be for free
11:37 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All I have the Starter edition becaue I thought it would be necessary for the projects I get from a big computer manufacturer...

11:38 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All let's stick to 30%
11:38 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All But DVX2 handles the jobs much more efficiently!
11:38 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All without telling anyhting about +1
11:38 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All and people who are taking will have it
11:38 Apr 8, 2014 Blandine-ATRIL: 1459982 All others will not
