Context matches (called "Guaranteed matches" in Déjà Vu) have been supported since Mid 2003, with the introduction of Déjà Vu X, but only in the Workgroup edition, which used to cost about €2500. The feature has been made part of the cheaper (current list price: €595) Professional edition since the introduction of Déjà Vu X2 in 2010. Like most other tools (eg. Heartsome, memoQ) except SDL Trados Studio (in which same context means same preceding segment, but not necessarily same following segment), Déjà Vu defines context as identical preceding and following segments. Déjà Vu goes even further: it is the only tool in which the size of the context (number of identical preceding and following segments) can be defined. A context size of 3 means identical preceding segment, actual segment to be translated and identical following segment, while a size of 5 means two identical preceding segments, actual segment to be translated and two identical following segments. Guaranteed matches can be used via the pre-translate function, and they can also be locked.
