Good morning,
Many thanks for the opportunity to stay in touch with the developments in the translation field, while I only had the opportunity to follow just a presentation by Mrs. Braeuer on 30th Sept. I am glad to have had a look at the current trends, thanks very much!

10:39 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All you can create translation memories by translating, or adding previously translated documents and its source texts
10:39 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All I understand - that's why the program wouldn't suggest a translation when I started the project and began to translate
10:39 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All exactly
10:39 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All Ok

10:40 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All I specialize on transation of contracts. Can I make one TM for all of the contracts?
10:40 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All however, if you enable machine translation modules in memoQ, you'll receive hits through MT plugins
10:40 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All I mean, can I use one TM for translation of all types of contracts, or I need to make several of them?
10:40 May 28, 2014 Alexandre De Sena Viegas: 95355 All Do you have direct support for XLSX import into MEmoQ TM and is MemoQ TM a SQLite TM? I JUST DON'T LIKE CSV
10:41 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All having on TM for all your contracts is just fine.
10:41 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All Can the program automatically draw phrases / segments from already translated documents?
10:41 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All Or I need to create the TM manually
10:42 May 28, 2014 Poly Patter: 1922254 All I forget in the far right top corner box, the "translation results" box -- the sentences / matches show in different colors - can you please confirm what the different colors stand for?

10:42 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All basically, it depens on the way you prefer managing TMs.
10:42 May 28, 2014 Alexander Kozhukhov: 8241 All I currently save all my glossarys into the Excel files. Can MemoQ use those to automatically include the translated phrases into the TMs?
10:43 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All you can have one master TM for all your contracts, or several small ones for all your jobs
10:43 May 28, 2014 Edit Erdodi: 1648720 All Hi Douglas

10:43 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All yo@Excel files - you should not save those into your TMs
10:44 May 28, 2014 Sandor Papp: 1193492 All you should save xls file into csv
