Conference feedback

It was one of the best days I've spent sitting on the computer, thank you very much!!!


Informative, interesting and fun! I'll be making the most of online access for 90 days for all the events I was unable to attend or attended only partially due to overlap. Thank you!


Thanks for all your effort to make the conference so enriching! I learnt quite a lot new things. Specially thanks to Sara Colombo. I found her session very interesting.

I only experienced problems with audio in one session, but was able to follow the conference anyway.

Great event! I tried to cope as much as possible. Sometimes my little kids were around, hanging around my neck, asking for chocolate milk but I couldn't stop paying attention to the many interesting things that were being presented. Congratulations!!!

Time From To Content
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Before delivering you can always mark duplicates with different translation
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Nice to meet you too, Ali.
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All you are a good sales specialist, you follow your clients to the point of sales :)
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All only if I'm forcing the propagation (either with Shift+F9 or Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow)
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All That's how you do it in memoQ as well: the QA module flags inconsistencies and you can either fix them or ignore them.
11:11 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Thanks!
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Epameinondas: yes, but if the mere act of translating one of the duplicates overwrites the others?
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Do you need any help to make your order online?
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All I'm not sure you've got the whole picture, Pavel.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All No, that would be undesirable!
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All exactly
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All I see no problem with that.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All It makes sense when moving and jumping to not translated (not confirmed) segments. You can jump to the first not confirmed segment.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator.
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All so what I'm saying is that it may make sense to change the behavior of the forced propagation
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All but I wouldn't touch the normal propagation
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All why it is written?
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All I am from Turkey
11:12 Apr 8, 2014 Epameinondas Soufleros: 951887 All Exactly
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Just a second..
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Ali Bayraktar: 710657 All your code does not apply turkey?
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Pavel Tsvetkov: 634408 All OK, but why not add a switchable option? If you do not like it, then do not switch it off.
11:13 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All if you're a proofreader and really want to overwrite all instances of this segment, then you can use Shift+F9, Alt+Shift+F9 or Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Cathy_Atril: 1469690 All Yes, it does.
11:14 Apr 8, 2014 Daniel Benito: 1130548 All Pavel: 20 years in the industry have shown me that too many options tend to confuse users
