Help! I tried repairing my TMs with "Repair resource" as indicated on Kilgray's website, but the popup says "The TM cannot be indexed. [50] Failed to access TM properties. It may have been deleted, used by another process, or a TM with the same GUID may already be open."

I haven't come across this error message before, has anyone else come across it?

Thanks in advance!

This occasionally happens to me. Try re-registering the TM. Open the Resource Console and select Register Local. Open the folder of the TM and double-click the .mtm file in the folder.

Exporting a RTF for translators that do not use any CAT Tool and importing it back in MemoQ

Topic: Exporting a RTF for translators that do not use any CAT Tool and importing it back in MemoQ
Poster: sebdea

Hi there,

I am working for a couple of translating agencies. Most often I am confronted with the following issue:

1. I prepare an IDML file for translating.
2. The translating agency s asking for an MS Word file because some of their translators do not use any CAT Tools.
3. Agency is providing translated MS Word file which I have to Copy/Paste in my original InDesign file.

It is a very time-consuming process.

Therefore, my questions are as follows:

1. Is there an option in MemoQ to import my IDML file, export it as RTF so translator(s) may work on it?
2. After translating the RTF is there an option/solution for the agency to import it back to MemoQ and export it back to me as IDML?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Sebastian

Post title: Absolutely!

This is everyday business in memoQ! You can easily import the IDML file into a memoQ project and produce a bilingual RTF document that contains a column for translation.

This bilingual RTF document can be pretranslated with the translation memory as to reuse any reusable content and to provide translators with previous translations that could be useful, even if not 100% matches. The match level is also indicated in the bilingual RTF files so that translators can easily see what translations in their translation column come from the memory and, if not 100%, have to be checked against the new source text.

After translation, this RTF file is reimported very easily into memoQ for later stages, like proofreading, QA checks (in case a translator missed some tag, for instance), etc.

All this is extremely easy to manage in memoQ and those of us who use external translators in the same way do it very frequently.

I could have mentioned that memoQ can produce:
- Bilingual XLIFF files that are compatible with CAT tools that use XLIFF files
- Bilingual Word files in Trados style (with the traditional markup)
- A RTF file in proprietary memoQ format (looks like the one I attached)

You can save rtf as docx (for a reason that is out of my understanding). Once you're done with translation, just save docx as rtf again and import it with the same effect as if it was never saved as docx.
However, I don't see any difference. All those files have their unique structure. For example, Memsource splits its bilingual table after each next batch of 1000 segments.
You cannot use the Memsource docx with any tool other than Memsource, can you? If no, then why docx is better than rtf?

Exactly. If you want to use another CAT tool with a memoQ RTF file, you can basically hide whatever you do not want to work on in the memoQ RTF file, save it as a DOC/DOCX, then work with any CAT tool on the non-hidden parts. Once finished, unhide the hidden parts, save as RTF, import to memoQ.

Hello,

Every time I tried to close a project, memoQ does not close immediately and shows this error message after waiting about 1 minute.
This issue does not occur when I tried to close different projects. Could you let me know how to solve this?
Non-English text in "MESSAGE:" says "There is no enough quota to execute this command."

Many thanks in advance for your help.

What do you mean by "prepare for translating"?

[/quote]

It means to tide up the IDML for lots of possible errors such as but not limited to outside text frames that are not related to project itself, adding text boxes over images that have some text on them but are not editable, adding text boxes for pieces of text or headings that are outlined, converting so-called tables that are designed with tabs or infinite spaces into proper tables etc. You would be surprised how some Indesign files are designed.

I really appreciate your input. So, in the end the main question is why the agency is asking me for a bilingual MS Word table along with an IDML if they can do it themselves in MemoQ? I have to talk to them.

That would be interesting to know. To me, it looks like they have a custom of asking for both formats in order to have a backup should the reimport fail for some reason.

Post title: Mark the slides as hidden

You can mark those slides you do not need as hidden (in PowerPoint, select the slides in the thumnails of the slides on the left hand-side, right-click, choose the Hide option) and then ask memoQ to only import non-hidden slides: import the PowerPoint file with options and, in the options dialog box, disable "Import hidden slides".

Do let us know if you need detailed instructions! I hope this helps.

(If the PPT file already contains hidden slides, note them down before hiding the unnecessary slides, since you would need to hide them again after unhiding all the parts you did not want to get into memoQ.)

It is my understanding that a MemoQ license starts on the day that you buy it and stops 365 days later, so it doesn't matter exactly when in the year you buy it. Also, as long as you keep on paying the annual fee, you qualify for all updates and new versions. If you don't want to pay the annual fee, then you're stuck with the version that you bought, so you may wish to wait until a new major version is released, but... that is unlikely to happen for several years. Plus, MemoQ releases updates about once a month anyway. So, the best time of year to buy MemoQ is: any time.

Or you can check this page every now and then to see if there is a special offer on MemoQ:
