Sad story... Mar 5, 2021

While still studying at the ETI, I made a comparison between Trados and DejaVu. The second one won hands down.
The companies I worked fore never used it, but I was willing to give it a go when I started to work freelance.
When I downloaded X3 for the last time in order to test it once more - that was back in June 2018 - I got soon after a phone call from a "sales rep" - a young Frenchman (a student hired for this purpose I thought - in reality an Atril trainee in International Busine... See more
