The top 10 reasons for purchasing Déjà Vu

We asked our experienced users to list which of Déjà Vu's outstanding
features they liked best. This is a summary of what they had to say:

Unmatched customer support

Free life-time support.

Quick, positive response to users' suggestions for new features or
refinements: e.g., 'Scan with wildcards' was requested in the DEJAVU-L
eGroup, and was implemented within a few days.

We enjoy advising users on how to organize a 2-million word project, on
which SQL command to use for special maintenance operations on their
databases, or on how to import glossaries in uncommon formats.

Continuous development to meet new market challenges.

Liberal upgrade policy: e.g., no charges for upgrading from version 2 to
3.

Ergonomic environment

There's no annoying word processor to get in your way.

Embedded codes isolate you from formatting issues and let you
concentrate on what you have to translate: text.

Integration, in one single interface, of the widest range of external
formats.

'All files in one file': a single project can contain an unlimited
number of files, and with Déjà Vu you can browse them together. Projects
with thousands of files are not uncommon. Can you imagine performing a
search and replace operation on 1000 HTML files in your word processor?

Project management

Multi-language, multi-translator projects which make working in a group
an easy task.

Satellite projects which are easily distributable to freelance
translators over the Internet.

Project coordinators can set access rights to individual translators.

All-in-one package - no need to purchase separate modules.

Translation workbench.

Translation memory.

Alignment utility.

Terminology system accessible from any Windows application, not just
from within Déjà Vu.

Exclusive productivity features

AutoSearch: all the information at your fingertips. See at a glance all
the sentences and all the terms related to the sentence you are about to
translate.

AutoAssemble: easily pull words from both terminology and translation
memories into your translation, or let Déjà Vu do this automatically.

Effortlessly propagate your translations to equal or similar sentences
throughout all the files in the project.

Self-repairing fuzzy matches.

Quality assurance functions.

State-of-the-art technology

The fastest search engine. Typical search times are milliseconds
for matches in huge databases.

Storage system built on Microsoft's industry standard Jet database
engine.

Unlimited language combinations

Déjà Vu is not restricted to two or three languages. Projects can
contain an unlimited number of target languages.

Associated free services

Atril has set up TransRef.org - The Translation Reference Center - for
the entire translation community.

Directory of translators (now on TransRef.org).

TransRef on-line multilingual dictionary (in preparation).

Mailing lists.

Be part of a virtual community that shares knowledge on new
developments

The DEJAVU-L eGroup is a large community of Déjà Vu users which
routinely share tips and knowledge with each other. For example, one of our
users wrote a report on how to use Dragon Dictate with Déjà Vu, which was
immediately shared with the rest of the community.

Easy and powerful management of terminology and memory databases

Visual management tools.

Standard SQL queries and commands supported.

... and the eleventh:

Great value for the money

Save on DTP software.

With productivity gains of 50, 100 or more per cent, Déjà Vu will pay
for itself very quickly.
