description memoQ Server Overview
Shared linguistic resources are the purpose of memoQ Server, the collaborative server component of the memoQ computer-assisted translation environment. It centralizes translation memories, terminology databases, project files, permissions, and workflow information. Multiple translators, reviewers, and project managers can therefore work with common resources instead of maintaining separate copies that may drift apart during a project. Language-service providers and localization departments use it to coordinate concurrent or distributed translation work.
It suits teams where individual translation tasks need to fit a managed process, including review and controlled access to project materials. Its distinction from the desktop application is the coordination layer: the server makes resources and project information available across a team. Translation quality still depends on the people and resources involved, but centralized management provides a common basis for their work.
help memoQ Server FAQ
What does memoQ Server add to the desktop memoQ translator?
It centralizes projects, translation memories, term bases, permissions, and files so translators and reviewers can work on the same job. The desktop application remains the main translation workspace, while the server coordinates shared resources and workflow.
Can translators work offline on a memoQ Server project?
memoQ supports checking out server projects for work in the desktop client, so translators can continue through temporary connection loss. They must reconnect to synchronize changed segments, updated resources, and delivery status.
How does memoQ Server differ from memoQ TMS?
memoQ TMS is the newer product name for the server-based translation management environment formerly widely called memoQ Server. Both names refer to memoQ's collaborative infrastructure rather than the standalone translator edition.
Can memoQ Server exchange files with Trados users?
memoQ can import and export common localization formats, including SDLXLIFF and translation-memory exchange files such as TMX. Compatibility is useful for mixed-vendor projects, although filters, tags, and project settings should be tested before production delivery.
