What am I missing?

If a segment in another tool’s XLIFF happens to be over the limit that memoQ can handle (4 000 characters), it is no longer omitted during import, but split into smaller chunks and imported with the rest of the segments.

WebTrans now supports screen reading software to facilitate visually impaired translators’ work

Exploit machine-translated content with quality estimates

When a filtered package (one TMX has been created from one or more relevant TMs of a project) is being imported, the newly created TM will become a classic TM if at least one of the original TMs was a Classic TM, or a TM+ if all original TMs were TM+s.

When working with Packages in memoQ TMS, TM+s are no longer converted into classic TMs when exporting, but they keep their TM+ status and can be reimported as such.

We are introducing TM+, a significantly more stable and faster translation memory

You now have the option to choose between the existing XML and the new HTML formats

SYSTRAN can provide more accurate translation output on the fly by enabling memoQ to provide fuzzy matches, the best hit with each translation request, from the TMs into its engine

We have added several improvements to memoQ’s machine translation functionality as well as a new plugin, Custom.MT.

DeepL’s terminology feature has been improved to help those working with language subvariants

In earlier memoQ versions, you only had the opportunity to choose a single profile from a dropdown menu, often not knowing the language pair associated with your profile. You had to know exactly which profile you were looking for to set it up.

In memoQ 9.12, we’ve made the process easier, so even those of you who don’t have an advanced technical background can access your glossaries directly from the plugin by opening the Create Glossary resource dialogue, configuring your settings, and entering your glossary data.

NiuTrans is a cloud-based machine translation engine. Established in 2012, NiuTrans is used in 300+ language pairs (centered mostly around Chinese). It has recently been supported as a private plugin, but now it has become public. Globalese is not your traditional machine translation plugin. It is not an MT engine, but a platform for building engines. So far, it has only been supported by memoQ as a private plugin, but from memoQ 9.12 on, it is also available as a public plugin (i.e., as part of the installation of memoQ).

We have improved the upload of reference files in LiveDocs. Instead of the Import as binary option, we have added a new import option for reference files as well as a Description field to all LiveDocs documents.

So far, when you exported LiveDocs corpora from memoQ as a .zip file, you could not reimport the .zip file into memoQ without unpacking it first. From 9.10 on, you can import the whole content of the exported .zip file, or select the specific corpus documents you want to include in your import.

Inside a TB entry, you find source terms and target terms. Sometimes one source term has multiple target terms or vice versa. In that case, the terms are saved in the order in which you added them. We are now adding the opportunity to modify the order in which these terms are stored. To do so, just click on the term you want to sort, and use the arrows on the right to put it in the position you want.

Great news for those who use machine translation in their projects! We added two new functions (a formality setting and the use of glossaries) to our DeepL plugin, and we also created a plugin for memoQ to use with the European Union’s eTranslation MT engine.

Improved highlighting feature and new filtering option allows you to narrow/do not narrow filtering results with new filtering

The new functionality allows you to write regexes with lookahead and lookbehind components and make the original text available to subsequential regex rules.

Coding is not only for developers anymore: Regexes are an elegant way for translators to save time and resources. memoQ 9.9 offers a wide array of new functionalities in its Regex Assistant: You can now import or export selected regexes, attach labels and descriptions to them, and use smart search with built-in or your own regexes. Keeping track of regexes has never been easier!

Regexes, short for regular expressions, are a powerful means of finding and replacing character sequences in text and come in handy whenever memoQ users need to search for strings that match a certain description (for example, dates in MM/DD/YYYY format) rather than a specific word. Regexes can be accessed in Find and replace and the translation editor’s filtering controls and can be used to define segmentation, auto-translation, or Regex Tagger rules.

We made two improvements to our Antidote integration in WebTrans: - Another supported browser (Firefox in Windows) was added. - Changes made in Antidote (which doesn’t display tracked changes) will now appear as tracked - Changes in WebTrans when Track changes is enabled in WebTrans.

memoQ 9.7 comes with a new Toggle case button that allows users to change the letter case of one or multiple term base entries in a selected language with a single click.

Google Cloud Translation API Advanced offers fast, dynamic translation between thousands of language pairs and comes with powerful customization features, such as custom neural machine translation model selection and glossary support. Thanks to our new Google MT plugin debuting in memoQ 9.7, the solution can now be integrated with memoQ for more accurate, better-quality results in domain-specific translations.

Streamlined document importing—Reduce the number of clicks for your document import. Find custom filters easily with combined columns.

Confirm without update - This functionality allows you to skip updating your TM, or select whether you want to update the Working or Master TM, when confirming an updated segment.

We are constantly adding new features to TM+ to provide the best-of-breed in translation memory. This time, we have added Guess translation and user role storing.

Batch add resources to projects - speed up your project management with more batch procedures. With this productivity booster, you can avoid repetitive, boring tasks and focus on your actual work.

Edit distance is a widely used measurement of the translator’s work, especially with machine translation post-editing becoming a more and more widely used method of translation. This feature allows project managers to estimate and quantify the translator’s work ahead.

As a part of AutoCorrect, memoQ offers smart quotes where the target language quotation format is automatically detected and used. If your text requires different typography, you can now change the default quotation mark format of any language using the new Customize smart quotes dialog

Light resources (such as filter configurations), which can be abundant if you work with multiple clients and projects, can now be deleted in bulk.

PPTX modern comments are now imported as translatable strings

Subtitles come in many different file formats—now, TTML is supported by memoQ and can be viewed in the Video Preview Tool. When importing TTML (and similar) files, the start/end timecodes are detected by the software enabling you to watch the related video in real-time through the Video Preview Tool.

memoQ 9.7 comes with an import filter for XLIFF 2 files! Files exported in this format can now be added to memoQ and configured for better segment and meta data management.

Import filter for subtitles and dubbing script - your new import filter can handle two subtitle formats: SRT and custom-made XLSX files. Audiovisual translation can now also be done in memoQ.

ZIP Filter - make use of this option to open up the files and display them as embedded documents or only import some of the documents. Enjoy improved file handling for your projects.

XLIFF: mrk tags - configure the XLIFF filter to import mrk tags inside segments and display them as inline tags.

Full compatibility with changes-tracked SDLXLIFF and Studio's translation QA - import and export tracked changes in Studio, with all the info on translation errors, quality metrics and scoring.

Visio files - use the memoQ supported VSDX file format filter to handle Visio files. Import a Visio chart embedded in a DOCX just as an embedded Excel sheet.

Multilingual Excel: formatting - take advantage of the new and improved handling of format in content when the source format is XLSX.

DOCX, XLSX: ignore local formatting to facilitate chained import - use these filters to remove formatting-related inline tags even if the files contain problematic formatting.

Reimport multilingual Excel files - and enjoy improved functionalities like number and formula handling. Excel and XML can be X-translated now.

Powerful out-of-the-box “find and replace” script added to pre- and post-process complex file formats—Convert your "nasty" text-based file formats into something that you can easily use - and back.

Multiple Regex Taggers—Create taggers for specific files and choose them depending on the file and in cascading filters. This greatly improves usability of regex taggers!

Moderation (a function previously available in memoQ term bases only) is now also possible in Qterm

Several Qterm improvements, requested by our users.

In the memoQ desktop client, you can choose the default settings for prefix matching and case sensitivity for all new entries in a term base from the New term defaults window. Going forward, you can do the same in QTerm, and users with sufficient permissions can change the term base’s properties (i.e., admin rights for the specific TB can set defaults for new terms).

In memoQ 9.12, you can choose one or more instances of a specific translation to be excluded from auto-propagation. Once you set an exception, a small label will appear indicating that the segment is excluded from auto-propagation.

When you open and run concordance from the translation grid, memoQ now automatically detects whether the specific segment appears in the source or the target text. Moreover, the Search in Target tickbox has been replaced by the Source and Target radio buttons, which also switch automatically when you open concordance from the grid, thereby clearly communicating exactly where concordance is performed.

memoQ already had a short inline tag option, and for 9.12, we tweaked it so that the inline tags would also feature numbers. This allows the user to still see the whole text without the long inline tags disturbing the view, and also allows to see at a glance which opening and closing tags belong together in the text.

When you set non-translatables (such as acronyms or brand names) for your translation project, they can still be identified as errors during spellcheck, and you need to skip each one as you perform the quality assurance process. In memoQ 9.12, we are introducing a new feature that lets you ignore non-translatables during spellcheck, thus reducing your translation time. You can find the setting in the QA settings window or the spell-checking dialog.

Export or delete TMs, TBs, LiveDocs corpora in batch - for projects with many TMs, TBs and LiveDocs corpora, this makes the difference between a lunch break and no lunch break. What would you chose?

Import TMs in batch - we love batch operations, don't you? To select, add and remove Translation Memories in batches is super-useful for project managers and freelance translators alike.

New export option - export all accepted terms and example sentences to an Excel workbook and let others validate terminology outside of memoQ.

The updated status bar not only tells you the total number of characters in a segment but also shows your current character position. This is especially useful when working with length restrictions in localization projects.

Select multiple files in a project and using the Export (Choose Path) option export all target-language files to the same selected folder (and even append the target-language codes to file names) instead of having to select the folder for each file.

When pretranslating a document, memoQ is capable of joining or splitting segments and thus finding better matches. Now you can join/split up to 5 segments, instead of 3. In addition, this feature is now available in online projects as well.

Hey memoQ—Talk to your translation editor. Based on Apple voice recognition technology, you can easily translate by dictating and give voice commands in over 30 languages.

If you are a translator and an expert in the specific field and the Rev2 is a native speaker editing only the target language text. If you notice a factual/technical error in a Rev2 confirmed segment, you can warn the Rev2/PM to take some corrective action before the translation is returned to the client.

The user can restore an earlier version of the specific translation in the target segment by selecting the designated version in the Row History dialog.
