Hello everybody!

I just installed Deja Vu X2 Trial Version and want to start translating a dvsat file. I need to add TM (dvmdb) and a TB (dvtdb) files to be used on the translation. I have not found a way to do this simple thing so far. Can you help? Is it due to the trial version?
Does anybody know a good manual for Deja Vu X2? I can't find anything basic for beginners.
Thanks a lot,
Lenka

Manual on the Atril website Jan 11, 2012

If you go to http://www.atril.com/en/software/deja-vu-x-professional you will find the manual (= user guide), the installation guide and a "getting started" guide. The links are at the bottom of the page.

I have a couple of articles on DVX2 with screenshots on my blog at http://language-mystery.blogspot.com/ which you may find helpful, too. I am currently working on another article, this time with various points about how to use the various databases in DVX2. I will finish it when I get the time - I hope this week - but I have to get some work done at the moment.

Thanks! Jan 11, 2012

Thank you very much. Meanwhile I found the guides and it indeed seems to be that I do not have a full version of Deja Vu installed ... I will try to install it again

Linking TM and TDB to Déjà Vu X Jan 11, 2012

Go to Project/Properties/Databases and click on Add to select existing TMs/TDBs or create new ones.
A trial version is a complete version of DVX. You just need to select complete installation in the installer program.

this does not work Jan 11, 2012

"Go to Project/Properties/Databases and click on Add to select existing TMs/TDBs or create new ones."

Exactly that is not possible. I have reinstalled everything and tried it out a couple of times, but there is constantly the message that DVX2 is not able to open the file ...

TM, TB provided by agency Jan 11, 2012

I did not need to create them since they are provided by the agency. The programme also finds them, but when I clic on the TM to add it, there is the message I mentioned.

Have you obtained a code from Atril? Jan 11, 2012

In order to have full use of the trial version, including databases, you need to obtain a 30-day code from Atril, the makers of DVX.

Repair or OS Jan 11, 2012

Hi,

What is your OS?

I would right-click on the files and check Properties, your files could be blocked or else try the repair feature in DéjàVuX2.

HTH,

Bernard

30 day trial version... Jan 11, 2012

It's no longer necessary.
The DVX2 trial simply works 30 days after the installation.

Nonetheless, I strange things may happen.
E.g.. I remember, some years ago, the activation codes didn't work on my wife's machine.

@Lenka:
- a dialog box with the license warning is displayed at DVX2 startup?
- can you go to DVX2 menu, Help, About, and see the version flavour and number?

PS.
I'll be back later... after some hard days...

Cheers
GG

The problem indeed is in the version I downloaded Jan 12, 2012

First, thank you all!

At startup there is no warning about the licence.
I downloaded the free trial version which is offered on the DVX2 Professional page, that is to say, it is offered as the full version of DVX2 Professional! However, as I see now, in the "Help" - "About" menu I got only the Editor (as I was thinking meanwhile since the full funcionality of the DVX2 is simply missing).
Under "Help" - "About" it says: Deja Vu X2 Editor, Version 8.0.519 There is also an

Under "Help" - "About" it says: Deja Vu X2 Editor, Version 8.0.519 There is also an activation code indicated which came automatically with the download ... I meanwhile asked Deja Vu support to send me an activation code if it is necessary. But anyway, after all these complications and misleading info I am not much inclined to work with Deja Vu in the future ...

Problem solved Jan 12, 2012

Yolanda was right: you need a special code from the support centre for the full funcionality of the DVX2 ... After activation with that code the downloaded version changed from DVX2 Editor to DVX2 Professional (just a pitty that they dont point this out on the web page).
