| Session offer: CAT-tools and the crucial points when using them | Dec 12, 2006 |
In general I would like to speak not about one particular CAT-tool, but about what is needed when working with them.
This is a result from the Trados training in Edinburgh, where I could gather some experiences about what is known and what should be told about CATs.

Another point is creating backups using Windows, without any additional software needed. A similar session was held in Berlin in May 2006.
A Trados training (in two sessions - beginners and intermediate) shall also be offered - most probably on two days after the Conference, with similar conditions to those in Edinburgh. More details shall follow early next year - simply because easyjet does not sell tickets Dortmund - Budapest yet and I don´t know my travel data.
Kind regards

TOPIC STARTER | Who would be interested in DVX training sessions? | Jan 3, 2007 |
It looks like as Atril is interested in providing training sessions on their Deja Vu X software. A beginners' and and an advanced course is planned.
Now I would like to see if there are enough people who would be interested and if you are willing to pay for this.
They would also hold a lecture during the conference (included in the conference fee) - a general introduction to DVX.
Once I know something specific, I will post the necessary details.

I would love to participate in a Déjà Vu training session. I've been using it for a while, but I'm sure there is so much more I could learn that would make my life as a translator easier. So count me in (I'm willing to pay for this as well).
Best,
Dagmar

I'm interested in Déjà Vu training, please count me in and let us know more about how much time the training would last, at what level are they going to start, considering the knowledge of CAT tools of each participant... I'm ok to pay an extra fee for that.
Warm regards

| | | | | Proofreading/editing is interesting! | Jan 3, 2007 |
Dear Csaba,
your no. 5. Editing vs Proofreading sounds like an interesting topic. I work 60 to 70 per cent as a proofreader/editor and 30 to 40 per cent as a translator, so this suits me. If I'm coming to Budapest, I wouldn't mind taking care of this one.

It would be nice, as far as I am concerned it could also be held outside the dates of the conference.
