memoQ templates for translators

Tweet Translation and revision are almost always tasks that require some organization and management. We receive jobs from our clients, often with some additional resources, like TMs, TBs and references. We also need to be able to track our progress on jobs we do, which involve different tasks. All this led to introduction of project-based …

Machine translation in memoQ

Tweet Machine translation (MT) is here to stay. Used properly, it can be a tremendously useful tool, improving translators productivity and simplifying work on relatively simple translations within certain domains. At the same time, improper use of MT can be a hindrance for translators, slowing them down and frustrating with useless suggestions. For “proper” use …

memoQ 2015 project filtering

Dashboard for "project manager" license owners, without news feed.

Tweet On Friday, May 22nd, during the memoQfest conference in Budapest, Kilgray officially released memoQ 2015. One of its new features is redesigned Dashboard view – the screen you see when you start the application.

XML translation – part 2: memoQ

Defining non-translatable tags based on attributes

In my previous post I’ve described what is XML, what is it for and what are the particular components. This time I’m going to show you how to properly import almost any XML file into memoQ for translation. I’m going to reference the files described in previous part, so you might want to look there for comparison and file structure description.

Raport z redakcji w kilka kliknięć

Ostatnio coraz częściej oprócz tłumaczenia zajmuję się redakcją. A po redakcji czasem trzeba udokumentować wprowadzone zmiany, zwłaszcza jeśli było ich dużo. Co prawda nowsze programy CAT dysponują funkcją śledzenia zmian (dostępna np. memoQ czy Trados Studio), to jednak przygotowanie raportu w formie czytelnej poza określonym programem, choć nieskomplikowane, jednak wymaga trochę pracy. Na szczęście istnieją narzędzia, które służą właśnie do obrazowania zmian między dwoma wersjami dokumentów dwujęzycznych.

memoQ 6.2

Wypuszczony w sierpniu tego roku memoQ 6.0 przeszedł jakoś bez echa. Podstawowa różnica w stosunku do wersji 5.0 polegała na tym, że program został napisany niemal całkowicie od zera, przez co zrobił się szybszy i stabilniejszy. Wprowadzono trochę zmian w interfejsie, ujednolicając go i łącząc w spójną całość elementy, które wcześniej sprawiały wrażenie chaosu. Z istotniejszych usprawnień dodano autotekst, nowy tryb przydzielania zleceń w projektach serwerowych i możliwość podziału dokumentu z zachowaniem podglądu. Dobre, przydatne zmiany, ale bez rewolucji.

Aż do teraz. W piątek została oficjalnie udostępniona wersja 6.2.

Dealing with Sajan TMS exports

Tweet One of my end clients recently introduced Sajan TM management system. As a result, instead of Trados TMs and TTX files which were a standard previously, I began to receive jobs as an Excel files, containing source segments and pre-translation (from 80% matches up) in separate columns. Additionally there’s a column with TM match …

Regular expressions in memoQ

Tweet Regular expressions are special rules which allow us to find a text meeting specified conditions and do something useful with it. In memoQ, this “something useful” may mean segmentation, “auto-translation”, conversion to a tag, or including/excluding text from translation. Regular expressions can be used in memoQ to greatly extend its functionality. During this year’s …
