Two new options available in TMs

1. Automatic consolidation merges all non-conflicting translations for the same source segment into a single entry. This means you can get more out of the reverse function and significantly streamline your TM with a mere click.

Consolidate your TM by using the Translation Memory / Consolidate Duplicates menu option, as shown in the screenshot below.

Meaning of consolidation

Consolidation merges entries with translations in different target languages for the same source into a single entry.

If your TM originally contains:

After consolidation the TM will contain:

This results in two main benefits:

The size of your TM can be considerably reduced.

The Reverse function becomes more powerful, since you it allows you to work with additional language pairs.

For example, by consolidating the TM entries in the previous example, I will be able to obtain additional translations for various source and target language pairs, as shown in the table below.

Yes: translation is available and displayed in the AutoSearch window.

No: translation is not available.

2.Mark and delete duplicates for all target languages at once.

When looking for duplicates in your TM, you now have the possibility to delete all the redundant segments with identical source and target in all target languages at the same time.

You can of course still use this option for one target language at a time.

As from 1 December 2011 Google Translate will be available as a paid service.

However, you can keep using Google Translate from your Déjà Vu environment as before if you want!

To do so, get your own Google account here. Google will provide you with a key and will charge you on a monthly basis. The cost is directly related to your use, on a basis of 20 euros per million characters entered in your Google Translate account. To use the Google Translate function in Déjà Vu as before, first enter your Google API key in the Tools/Options/Machine Translation menu.

Watch our e-learning video to find out exactly how it works.

When updating Déjà Vu X2 to the latest build, Déjà Vu X2 automatically installs add-ins for Microsoft Office 2007/2010, which are visible in the ribbon as a new group labelled Déjà Vu X2. There are two possible file types with embedded objects you can process with DVX2.

First case: your source document has been created with Microsoft Office 2007/2010

1. Import the document into a Déjà Vu X2 project, making sure to select the Microsoft Office 2007/2010 Open XML as the filter in the File Properties window. You can then carry out the translation and export your translated documents.

2. When opening the exported file, click on the “Refresh All Objects” button on the Déjà Vu X2 ribbon tab to be able to see the translated embedded objects.

Second case: your source document has been created or partly created with Microsoft Office 2003

1. To check if your document contains legacy Microsoft Office 2003 objects, open it in Microsoft Office 2007/2010. Click on the “Check All Objects” button on the Déjà Vu X2 ribbon tab. This will provide you with the information on the number and type of embedded objects included in your document.

2. If your document contains legacy Office 2003 objects, click on “Convert All Objects To Office 2007/2010”. This will convert your document and its embedded objects to the 2007/2010 format. Close the document.

3. You can now import the document into a Déjà Vu X2 making sure to select the Microsoft Office 2007 Open XML as the filter in the File Properties window. You can then carry out the translation and export your translated documents.

4. When opening the exported file, click on the “Refresh All Objects” button on the Déjà Vu X2 ribbon tab to be able to see the translated embedded objects.

1. Streamline your work with Word files by eliminating superfluous codes with CodeZapper. Activating the “Run CodeZapper” option when importing a Microsoft Office word file automatically eliminates all the unnecessary embedded codes from your Déjà Vu project. This option is accessible from the File Properties window. Watch our e-learning video on CodeZapper here.

2. Whatever Office version you are using, always benefit from extensive import and export options. Watch our e-learning video here and discover how to choose the options.

1. Automatically process embedded HTML markup in your XML, Office 2007 and 2010 documents.

To do so, simply check the option “Process Embedded HTML” in the File Properties window before importing your file.

2. Use regular expressions* to easily turn any type of non-translatable content into Déjà Vu codes.

Enter one or more regular expressions, separated by | , which is the regex OR operator in the option “Ignore Regex Matches” of your import properties. Any portion of the extracted segments which matches the regular expression is converted into an embedded code. Learn how to specify your regex with this e-learning video.

* What are regular expressions?

Regular expressions provide a concise and flexible means for "matching", i.e. specifying and recognizing, strings of text, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. The regular expressions follow the ICU syntax described at http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp.

Differences between Microsoft Word and Déjà Vu for word counting rules

The main differences between Microsoft Word’s count and Déjà Vu’s count are related to numbers and how certain separators are handled. For example:

- Déjà Vu does not count numbers as words whereas Word does.

- Word allows a wide range of characters to be present inside words, such as dashes, hyphens and several other types of symbols.

- Déjà Vu only allows apostrophes in contractions for specific languages.

You can select one type of word count or the other when conducting a word count or an analysis in Déjà Vu X2 (under the menu Tools/Word Count and Analysis).
