help memoQ FAQ
Can memoQ open translation packages from SDL Trados Studio?
memoQ supports common bilingual and package formats used in professional localization, including several Trados-compatible formats. Complex packages, embedded files, or custom filters should still be tested before a project begins.
What is the difference between memoQ translator pro and memoQ server?
memoQ translator pro is the desktop environment used by individual translators. memoQ server supports centralized projects, shared translation memories, terminology, permissions, and collaboration among multiple linguists.
Does memoQ use translation memories or machine translation?
It uses translation memories to retrieve previously translated segments and terminology databases to suggest approved terms. It can also connect to machine-translation services, but those suggestions remain separate from confirmed human translations.
Can memoQ work with Trados translation memories?
Yes, TMX provides a standard way to exchange translation-memory data between memoQ, Trados Studio, and other CAT tools. Some metadata or proprietary settings may not transfer perfectly, so a sample import is prudent for a valuable client memory.
