We have introduced new features to help your project managers work in memoQweb, including LiveDocs and project management functionality.
We are constantly improving and adding new functionality to memoQweb so that project participants can collaborate more effectively online and project managers can take advantage of a full project management workflow. As a next step, we are adding LiveDocs to the available resources for online projects. Project managers can now add or remove LiveDocs corpora that are available on the server to and from the associated projects. Look out for more functionality to come in future releases!
Based on our users’ feedback and suggestions, memoQ project managers and server administrators are now allowed to rename projects on memoQweb.
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.
With the new Guess translation function, concordance can be used to find the translation of a word or expression that’s not included in your term bases. From memoQ 10.3 on, this feature is also available in TM+ as well as classic translation memories.
Storing user roles for TM entries or importing/converting TM entries with user roles has become possible in TM+.
When a user changes an existing TM entry, that existing entry will be overwritten, along with its user role. In the case of a TMX import or TM+ conversion, if there are multiple versions of translations for the same source segment modified by different user roles, then memoQ picks the entry that has the “most valuable” user role.
We have added new functionality to the ICR tool based on user feedback.
The ICR tool in memoQ 10.3 will feature the following:
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.
From memoQ 10.3 on, you will have a distinct import option when uploading reference files into LiveDocs rather than needing to check the Import as binary option in the import filter. We have also added a Description field for all LiveDocs documents (including reference files) to make it easier for PMs to communicate the value of each corpus document to linguists without writing a lengthy explanatory email.
Moreover, reference files of any source language can be uploaded to a LiveDocs corpus in a project, thereby allowing a greater variety of reference files (e.g., a Swedish IKEA catalog can now be uploaded to an English-German project). All reference files in a project are available to all project participants, regardless of the document languages and the users’ assignments, thereby allowing for more diversity of reference files.
These improvements were designed while working on the In-country review tool, but they are also available to all users working with LiveDocs documents.
The memoQ server backup tool has been revamped to make the backup process faster as well as more secure. From now on, you can customize the backup process on the memoQ server.
The scope of the backup has become more versatile to reduce disk space, optimize speed, and enhance performance. Users can now freely configure the backup scope by choosing which files to back up and, if your enterprise data warehouse is handling a memoQ database, decide whether the database needs to be backed up. This helps optimize performance and ensures that memoQ is fully aligned with your organization’s data management policies.
Finally, the code has been separated from the Deployment Tool. This eliminates the potential failure of the backup if the Deployment Tool is left running on the server when a scheduled backup is due.
We have added several improvements to memoQ’s machine translation functionality as well as a new plugin, Custom.MT.
Google’s machine learning infrastructure is changing. The custom models of Google’s machine learning platform (AutoML) have a new shape and form. The former models have become obsolete (called Legacy models), and the new models are now called Native models.
We have upgraded the plugin to enable you to work with the custom models of the renewed AutoML service. The renewed plugin now includes both Legacy and Native models.
For enhanced security, users can now use the Google Advanced MT plugin with their own PEM certificate to encrypt the translation data traveling between memoQ and Google.
Edit distance reports are used to show you how much work has been done by translators and reviewers, and how good your supporting technologies (TMs and MT) are. When generating the edit distance report, memoQ computes the amount of editing required to transform the source text into the target text. Edit distance reports are now available in WebPM.
We renewed the MT plugins’ data communication between the memoQ server and the memoQ desktop client to make it faster and more reliable.
memoQ 10.3 has several smaller features and tweaks suggested by our users, such as lookaround in Regex Tagger, WebTrans accessibility improvements, and many more!
