Hi !
I am new with déjà vu, so please do not blame me if the answer is obvious
This is the second word file I import into Deja VU. I translated it and, unlike the first I did, when I try to export this one, the word document was empty, execpt for the title !!!
Did I forgot to do anything ?
Thank you for your help, I am in trouble here !

| Check the codes | Mar 5, 2008 |
Hi Marie,
I suggest going through the document in Déjà Vu and looking to see if any of the codes are in the wrong order in your target text compared to the source text.
If that doesn't work, send the whole projet to a new translation memory, re-import the document under a new name and pretranslate using your new translation memory selecting "only exact matches" (which should get everything or nearly everything you had the first time round) and try exporting that one....

Hope one of these helps. ▲ Collapse

set the cursor in the first segment.
press CTRL+Shift+F8
the cursor will go to the first segment with a code problem. look at the status line at the botton, to the left of DVX, there you will find info about the possible problem.
Once you corrected all codes the file should normally export
kind regards

| Workaround: Save Word doc as rtf | Mar 5, 2008 |
Hi Marie,
You might as well consider saving the Word doc as rtf, reimport it into the project and pretranslate it (assuming that all you have translated so far has been sent to the TM, if not, choose Project - Send Project to Translation Memory.
What Eutychus means:
Define a new translation memory in the project settings (choose Project - Properties - Databases, then click "Add" in the upper section and just type a name. The new memory will then be created automat... See more Hi Marie,

Still trouble? Let us know!

DejaVu users also have other types of problems. One very frequently discussed is the inability to export the target file. Usually fixing the embedded codes can help, but it is not always the case. Just yesterday DVX did not want to export the file, controlling the embedded codes did not help. And I came across a situation where there was a character { just next to the embedded code. So everything looked like {{173}. It was just a mistake in erasing the former embedded code, with the character { ... See more DejaVu users also have other types of problems. One very frequently discussed is the inability to export the target file. Usually fixing the embedded codes can help, but it is not always the case. Just yesterday DVX did not want to export the file, controlling the embedded codes did not help. And I came across a situation where there was a character { just next to the embedded code. So everything looked like {{173}. It was just a mistake in erasing the former embedded code, with the character { remaining. When I corrected it everything worked fine. So next time, as one of possible clues, try to find a similar setting of characters. What I also noticed that when by mistake you modify the source file, there may be problems with exporting the target file.
I'm glad that the above suggestions helped you.
Best regards

TOPIC STARTER | switch from Deja Vu to another ? | Mar 6, 2008 |
I've only got the evalutation version of Dejà Vu... Do we encounter the same time of codes problems with other CAT tools ?
I found this : http://www.geocities.com/fmourisso/CAT.htm
which makes me want to buy CYPRESOFT TRANS Suite 2000
rather than everything else.
Do you think this comparative if reliable ?
| | | | | outdated opinion? | Mar 6, 2008 |
according to opinion presented in this evaluation, DV does not possess many functions. I guess that the latest version of DVX has many of these features, such as autosearch. What DVX has an others have not is the assemble function. Whenever you have short segments, the software is able to combine them into a longer sentence. I also don't know whether other CAT tools can substitute short segments or words in the original sentences. DVX seems a completely different product then the former versio...

Anyway, I don't think I will ever use another software, but this opinion is probably true for all other users or their programmes.

I just had a short look, the person writing this had no idea at all about DVX and its functions .
Therefore, this test is rubbish.
I have Trados, Across, MemoQ, SDLX, Wordfast and DVX.
I do all my work in DVx because it is the only product working on a subsentence level and the only one with many integrated QA functions.

I have been working with dv/DVX for 12 years now, I cannot even remember when I had export problems in any of MY projects.
I see a lot of problems in projects of other people as I do a lot of support. In 99 % hat translator is the culprit by working sloppily.

| Not all problems are the fault of the translators!! | Mar 6, 2008 |
Problems are not always the fault of translators!! There can be a code problem in the original document that is invisible and nothing to do with the translator. The main question is whether a workaround can be found - as has been found here.
I find the single most compelling reason for using DVX is that it puts the target and source side by side instead of one on top of the other.

| Cypresoft is no more | Mar 9, 2008 |
As far as I know, Cypresoft went out of business some time ago (2006?).
Do you think this comparative if reliable ?
No. It's a very old survey and it looks like the author tried DV for about ten minutes and didn't bother to understand much.
Best regards,
Dave
