History
The first version of Déjà Vu was published in 1993 and used the Microsoft Word interface. In 1996, this approach was abandoned, and the software was given its own program interface.
In 2004, the founder Emilio Benito passed away[1] and his son, Daniel Benito, Head of R&D and Déjà Vu co-creator, continued running the company. Beginning in March 2009, PowerLing became the exclusive distributor for Déjà Vu in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They began operating in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg in April, and in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the US and Canada in July. In January 2011, Powerling increased ATRIL's capital by taking out a controlling stake.
Déjà Vu has been one the leading CAT (Computer Assisted Translation) tools for many years along with SDL Trados, Wordfast and others.
