Setting the Rules for Handling Projects in memoQ

In this course, the focus will be on how to set up different options in memoQ so as to handle different file types, such as .doc, .xls, .html, .idml, etc. properly. Explanation will be given on how to use various filters available in order to deal with different text markups. Resource console will be explained. You will learn how to best prepare your projects before you even start working on them. Each case will be dealt with practically, with examples.

We will follow a life cycle of documents processed with memoQ and explain in more detail the following options:

Segmentation rules (defining your own rules to better match the specifics of the source language and improve translation memory results)

Numbers – how to deal with different number formats

Filters (markup text is dealt with easily with proper filters. Setting the right ones and saving your preferences for future use or sharing)

Term base options – detailed look (term extraction feature, multiple term bases, entering new terms, importing bilingual glossaries)

Translation memories and LiveDocs – options, similarities, differences, how to make the best of them
