In Trados, you can't import a bilingual DOCX file [u]if you have made any edits to the project in Trados after[/u] you've exported the DOCX file, so... does MemoQ allow you to do that after all?

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking whether I can import updated/revised segments from the RTF file back into the memoQ Project. [/quote]
No, that is not my question. My question relates to this scenario: 1. You do a translation in MemoQ. 2. You then export the RTF file. 3. You then edit your translation [u]in MemoQ[/u] (not in the RTF file). 4 You change you mind, and you wish to import the RTF file, thereby overwriting anything that you did in MemoQ since you've exported the RTF file. Will MemoQ allow such an import? Wordfast Pro 3 does. Trados doesn't. Trados only allows inporting the bilingual review file if no additional changes were made in Trados itself since the bilingual review file was exported.
