I am looking forward to it... just wondering what (if any) of the requested features we have asked about time and time again here, have actually been considered by Atril for implementation.
I am keeping my fingers crossed.

TOPIC STARTER | Screenshots from the sneak preview webinar on the new DVX3 today... | Jan 9, 2014 |
Hello everyone,
Here are two screenshots of the new DVX3. To be honest I didn't really pay much attention to the actual webinar itself as I was busy translating (in CafeTran), so without further ado, the screenshots:
Yes, you saw that right, Déjà Vu now has a ribbon too, just Word and SDL Stupido.

TOPIC STARTER | That’s a difficult question to answer. | Jan 9, 2014 |
Hi Sarah,
That’s a difficult question to answer. I like a lot of its features, but there is no way it could lure me away from my current favourite CAT tool, CafeTran. Although CafeTran definitely has few problems (lack of clear documentation being the most pressing), it is just so much more fun to translate in than anything I have ever used before.

That’s a difficult question to answer. I like a lot of its features, but there is no way it could lure me away from my current favourite CAT tool, CafeTran. Although CafeTran definitely has few problems (lack of clear documentation being the most pressing), it is just so much more fun to translate in than anything I have ever used before.
To make matters slightly more confusing, I also own a memoQ 2013 licence, which was actually my tool of choice until a few months ago. If I had to recommend a tool of this kind (i.e., a large and complex beast, with far too much emphasis on the server crowd), I think I would still recommend memoQ above DVX (3 or 2), or SDL Stupido (oops, did I say that, I mean to type Studio of course).
However, having said that, DVX has some very special features, and I know many people who swear by it. For example, DVX2 is the only CAT tool I know of that can use Machine Translation to 'repair' fuzzy hits in the way that DVX does. And it has a few more such special features.
A lot of people hate the ribbon, but I think it might just work in the way DVX has implemented it in DVX3. I would want to be able to hide it though, which I'm not sure is possible.
I also like the different colours used to show the difference between your current source segment text and the source segment text from TM fuzzy hits... (I think green is for additions, blue for changes, and red for subtractions).
The document preview window is also very well done. Apparently it spans multi-file projects. That is, if you click down into a segment that is actually part of a different file, the preview window changes to show the new document.

| Sneak preview extras | Jan 9, 2014 |
Hi Michael,
I can confirm that the ribbon can be hidden in DVX3, so the normal working height in the grid is more than in DVX2. And the document preview window is great to work with. I normally park it on my second monitor so that I have all of the main window for the traditional content of DVX - and when I used DVX3 on the laptop recently, I even managed to display the preview pane on my Android tablet.

(I love my Nexus 7 because of its handy format, but on this occasion a 10" screen would have been a bit easier on the eyes).
As you gather, I am one of the beta testers, and I already use DVX3 regularly for real work. Some details are still being sorted, but they do not stop me working productively. ▲ Collapse

Thanks for your reply Michael.
I actually have DV X2, which I love, and I was wondering if DV X3 is an improvement on X2. I also have memoQ and like it a lot too.
I have never tried Cafe Tran. Why do you say it's more fun?

What's about normal (or underlining) spellchecker?
What's about more correctly working filter for langs with inflexion? (even in EN it's impossible to filter sing and plural nouns in one filtration)?
As far I know ribbon was the most hated «invention» in Office 2007 after Office 2003. (I can't imagine that clicking tab+button in W7,10,13 is more quick and easy than simply clicking button in W2003).
And now DVX has got ribbon with SHORT-CUTTED (or HOT-KEYed) commands. ?... See more What's about normal (or underlining) spellchecker?

(Thanks God it can be hidden)
What about one-click importing/exporting other TM's projects and bilingual rtf/speadsheets (xls, OO)?
What about joined view for some (not all) project's files with opportunity to export all files in view in one click?
What about too slow tmx import?
What about import Trados xliffs with bad xml entities?
What about aligning in translating view? It's more easy to align files in Editor view and with all editor functions than in castrated aligner.

| Shortkey for numerals? | Jan 10, 2014 |
Hi, does anybody of you, who has seen the preview or tested the beta, know whether Atril has finally added a shortcut to put in / copy numerals from the source to the target like even Studio and memoQ have got?
Thanks!

| Some highlights... | Jan 10, 2014 |
Hi,
I've watched that video and here some highlights and new features as best as I can remember:
Ribbon display which can be hidden by double-clicking.
Basic formatting recognized by DVX3 which leads to less codes and are also applied by repairing fuzzy matches or by assembling.
Inline spell checker (check spelling as you type)
Live preview which shows *all* your documents in your project at once.

Inline spell checker (check spelling as you type)
Live preview which shows *all* your documents in your project at once.
1:1 representation with MS Office documents, and extracted text, but still correct "true page" representation with other formats (XML etc.)
Fuzzy terms from TM and TBs can now be set separately with a percentile number.
Only specific TMs or TBs can now be set to display fuzzy matches based on attributes (client, subject). This is equivalent of filtering the TM which has huge advantages for QA and client terminology (amongst others).
New formats available for exporting documents (probably only with the Workgroup edition):
- Bilingual Word format
- Xliff
- Trados WB
- ?
There are for sure other novelties, but those are just what I did remember in particular.
Greets,
Mike

| Most of all that is now in DVX3 | Jan 10, 2014 |
What's about normal (or underlining) spellchecker?
There is one in DVX3
And now DVX has got ribbon with SHORT-CUTTED (or HOT-KEYed) commands. ??? (Is this a special form of madness of software ingineers?)
All ribbons work that way.
You can also minimize the ribbon create a customizable quick access toolbar at the top with all the buttons you regularly use (with keyboard shortcuts or just with alt+1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
What about one-click importing/exporting other TM's projects and bilingual rtf/speadsheets (xls, OO)?
Not quite sure what you mean there but the DVX2/3's "Divide and Dispatch" feature must be just about the most powerful way of sharing files going.
What about joined view for some (not all) project's files with opportunity to export all files in view in one click?
With "Divide and Dispatch" you can split up a project in any way you want, by files, number of words or even number of characters, and certainly export several files in more or less one click or any given selection of files as one .xlf file, for example.
What about too slow tmx import?
I'd say it's almost as fast as memoQ's now. Importing files with the new Office wysiwyg files is now faster than in memoQ, according to my timings.

Hope not one from Wintertree, where nobody knows how to add new lang or new words in dic.
It's good idea to show it on screenshots.

Clear. But spending resources on not useful functions is not a good idea. Especially now when other TM are going ahead (especially MQ)

Example: You got 3 manuals in 30 files (man1_sect1.doc.....man1_sect10.doc, etc) for translation. It's more easy to translate them as 3 files ma1, man2, man3. Is it possible to join files this way in DVX3?

Nice to hear.
The view window on me is not a good idea (but taking too many resources due to a lot of formats). It's much better the function like copy|paste|Find clean segment (some words) in target or reference application. (Word, PowerPoint, Acrobat). A blind view (without pictures) is almost useless for illustrated documents.

It's Hunspell actually.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see memoQ following on with a ribbon one of these days.
Whether the ribbon makes life easier for newbies is debatable, but it does open up new possibilities for developers. At least that's the argument they give for it.
Example: You got 3 manuals in 30 files (man1_sect1.doc.....man1_sect10.doc, etc) for translation. It's more easy to translate them as 3 files ma1, man2, man3. Is it possible to join files this way in DVX3?
In all versions of DV, you can work on the 30 files as if they were one big file (all files view or project view) and switch between a view of one or more files and the project view, or even display several views side by side.
You could also import the 30 files, use Divide and Dispatch to split the project into three parts at any point and export them as three .xlf files which could be imported into another project, or three different projects, and translated there. Is that what you mean?

Not sure what you mean there. DVX3's real time preview does show the layout and pictures of the target application (Office documents). And the preview works for the all files view, i.e. your 30 files can be viewed as one big preview, not just one preview for each individual file as in the case of memoQ.
