I've been sent a TTX file (TagEditor), will I be able to translate it using memoQ?

If you want to work with file formats supported by SDL Trados but not supported by memoQ, you can do that through TagEditor's native format, TTX. However, to enable SDL Trados to export the file back to the original format you have to pre-segment the file and work on an already segmented TTX file.

To pre-segment the file you need to do the following:

• Open SDL Trados Translator's Workbench

• Create an empty translation memory by choosing File/New. Click Create, and give a name to the translation memory

• Click Tools/Translate

• In the Translate Files dialog box, enable the Segment unknown sentences check box

• Add the files you want to segment by clicking Add...

• Click Translate

Now import the pre-segmented TTX files into memoQ, and you can start working.

Note: memoQ 2.1 and later have full TTX support, but there is a workaround method to work on TTX files using memoQ 2.0.
