I do not have much experience with CAT tools so I was interested to see how an example works. The presenters were both very thorough and it was easy to understand them. The programme itself looks easy enough to master with some practice.
Thank you for this opportunity!

An interesting and informative event and an opportunity to discuss Déjà vu X directly with Benito. On the not-so-bright side: the video quality of the streaming presentations was awful. Not sure why resolution was so low, but even in full screen I could hardly see anything. The recorded video event looked great, so it must have been a streaming or player problem, but it did ruin the presentations.

16:50 Apr 8, 2014	Hanaamohamed: 1136024	All	as I inform the client that there are errors in the source
16:51 Apr 8, 2014	Hanaamohamed: 1136024	All	you got the point Mr. Etienne
16:52 Apr 8, 2014	Hanaamohamed: 1136024	All	yes
16:53 Apr 8, 2014	Hanaamohamed: 1136024	All	لاعف Déjà vu checks target consistency only. But it doesn’t check source consistency
16:54 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	Déjà Vu can check whether the translation includes the appropriate translations for specific terms in the source.
16:54 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	But there is no way it can check that the source is correct. Only a human can do that.
16:55 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	Can you be more specific about the kinds of errors you think it could spot in the source? What kind of inconsistencies?
16:56 Apr 8, 2014	Hanaamohamed: 1136024	All	consistency in general
16:57 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	I'm afraid that is a task that can only be accomplished by a human. There is no way we can tell if the source text is using the right words or not.
16:57 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	Even modern grammar checkers, such as the one in Word, can barely tell if a sentence is grammatically correct.
16:58 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	Determining whether terminology or certain grammatical structures are used consistently is currently beyond the reach of computers, I'm afraid.
16:58 Apr 8, 2014	Daniel Benito: 1130548	All	Unless we're misunderstanding what you're asking.
