In the translation grid, you can edit the contents of a translation document manually. Translation documents, however, often contain a multitude of segments, which may be difficult to navigate. The filtering and sorting toolbar of the translation grid allows you to filter or sort the segments in the translation document so that you can work with it easily.

 

Use

On the left side of the filtering and sorting toolbar – the filtering options –, you can define a subset of all segments in the translation document view to see. By using the filters, you will not see irrelevant segments. On the right side of the filtering and sorting toolbar – the sorting options –, you can set the order in which the segments are displayed. This will help you in navigation.

Note: You always specify filtering and sorting parameters for individual translation documents. In memoQ, you cannot edit multiple translation documents in a single document tab. To edit segments from multiple documents in a single document tab, create a view from the documents.

Note: You can also filter and sort the segments when editing the contents of views.

Filtering Options

Source: Use this field to enter the words you are looking for on the source side. If you filter for source segments, you will only see those segments that contain the words you specified in the source language.

Target: Use this field to enter the words you are looking for on the target side. If you filter for target segments, you will only see those segments that contain the words you specified in the target language.

Note: memoQ lists all segments that contain at least one word from the ones you entered.

Regular expressions: You can enter regular expressions in the filtering boxes, and memoQ will display those segments that match the regular expression. You need to check the Use regular expressions check box.

: Click this check box to distinguish between upper case and lower case characters when looking for matches. If the check box is on, the word "memoQ" will not be found if you enter "Memoq". Clear the check box to get more results.

: Check this check box to use regular expressions in the text filters. Then you can use the same regular expressions to find text as in the Find and replace dialog.

: Click this button to look for segments having certain segment types. The Specify segment status dialog appears where you can select the properties of the segments you want to see in the filtered view.

: Click this button to start filtering for segments containing the words you entered into the Source and/or Target field.

Note: If you specified criteria that are not met by any of the translation document segments, an empty translation document view will be displayed. Specify other filtering options or reset filtering to see all segments in the translation document.

: Click this button to clear the filter, and display all segments again. If your previous filter did not display any segments, you need to click this icon before you can enter a new filter.

Press Ctrl+Shift+F to filter for selected text: Select text in a source or a target cell, and then press Ctrl+Shift+F. This will filter your document to the text you selected. If you select text on in a source cell, memoQ will filter the view for text that occurs in the source text. To filter by the target, select text in a target cell, and then press Ctrl+Shift+F. To turn off the filter, and return to the full document, press Ctrl+Shift+F again.

Sorting Options

Sort: Use this drop-down list to specify the criteria for sorting contents of the translation document. You can choose a sorting order from the following:

oNo sorting: Select this option to not sort contents of the translation document.

oAlphabetic by source (A -> Z): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the source language entries, alphabetically, in increasing order.

oAlphabetic by source (Z -> A): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the source language entries, alphabetically, in decreasing order.

oAlphabetic by target (A -> Z): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the target language entries, alphabetically, in increasing order.

oAlphabetic by target (Z -> A): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the target language entries, alphabetically, in decreasing order.

oSource text length (shorter first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the source language entries, by length, in increasing order.

oSource text length (longer first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the source language entries, by length, in decreasing order.

oTarget text length (shorter first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the target language entries, by length, in increasing order.

oTarget text length (longer first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the target language entries, by length, in decreasing order.

oMatch rate (higher first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the match rate of the source language entries, in increasing order.

oMatch rate (lower first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the match rate of the source language entries, in decreasing order.

oFrequency (higher first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the frequency of the source language entries, in decreasing order.

oFrequency (lower first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the frequency of the source language entries, in increasing order.

oLast changed (older first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the member who last changed the segment.

oLast changed (newer first): choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by the member who last recently changed the segment.

oRow status: choose this option to sort contents of the translation document by status (e.g. confirmed).
