C.M. Rawal Jul 2, 2008:
However, I found the phrase in the Oxford English Reference Dictionary and the Chambers Dictionary and on the basis of the meaning given there and the other reference material available with me I have posted my answer.
C.M. Rawal Jul 2, 2008:
Thank you. I mistook the term for the popular CAT tool which is a brand name because you asked not to provide the transliteration of the term. Incidentally, this phrase is not given in the small French-English English-French Dictionary available with me.
Mrudula Tambe (asker) Jul 2, 2008:
No, it is not a brand name but it is a phrase. People do use it as a name to their product e.g. a hollywood movie of Denzel Washington.
C.M. Rawal Jul 2, 2008:
Since, it is a proper noun, you have no choice but to transliterate it. It is a product's brand name which may or may not have a meaning. Even if a brand name has a meaning, one should not translate it into English or any other language.
Mrudula Tambe (asker) Jul 2, 2008:
No translitteration please since I can also type the same words in Hindi.

परिचय आभास, परिचय प्रतीति

"परिचय आभास" या "परिचय प्रतीति" से Déjà vu" की अनिश्च्चित प्रकृति अच्छी तरह अभिव्यक्त होती है। इस अनुभूति में किसी तरह का निष्कर्ष नहीं निकलता है। इसका अनुभव करने वाले को इस बात का बस आभास होता है कि वह संबंधित स्थान, घटना आदि से परिचित है। इस अनुभूति की सत्यता की परीक्षा के लिए उसके पास कोई साधन नहीं होता है।

पूर्व परिचित, जाना पहचाना, चिर-परिचित, पुनरावृत्ति

In French it means-I’d seen it before, I’d already seen it.
While wikipedia says-an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself.

ज्यादा स्पष्ट करने के लिए आप इसे जाना पहचाना-सा या चिर-परिचित-सा भी कह सकते हैं।
Example sentence:

Déjà vu is French for "already seen." Déjà vu is an uncanny feeling or illusion of having already seen or experienced something that is being experienced.
