Dear Prozians!

I am writing because I would like to ask you to complete this survey form: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C52FMZH

It is interactive and should not take longer than 2-4 minutes. It was created as part of my dissertation research, which aim is to compare the newest flagship products of the biggest/most popular CAT tool providers with the expectations of individual translators.

If you think that I could be missing any important point please let me know. I can edit/supplement the survey at any time if needed. Your input is very important for me, since it will be translators’ opinions that will play the most important role in the final assessment.

Thank you in advance.

deadline - 13.08 at noon Aug 12, 2010

I decided to reschedule the closing date for the survey to 13.08 at noon. Please take a few minutes to fill it in before the deadline. I must say that the results are quite different than I expected and differ from surveys conducted in the past, which is obviously good for me and my dissertation. I will make the results public as soon as possible after the closing date. Thank you for your help.
