memoQ Help - Link documents (in LiveDocs corpus)

The Link documents dialog appears when you link together two monolingual documents in a LiveDocs corpus. The two documents become an alignment pair. In this dialog, you can set the properties of the two documents within the link.

How to begin

Select a LiveDocs corpus in the LiveDocs pane of the Resource console or Project home. In the document list of the selected corpus, select the first monolingual document, then press and hold down Ctrl, and select the second monolingual document. Click the Link documents button on the LiveDocs ribbon tab.

Note: The Link documents button is available only when two monolingual documents are selected, in two different languages.

Options

•Under Which is the source language?, memoQ displays the languages of the two selected documents. One of those will be the source language: click the radio button for the intended source language.

•Under What should memoQ do...?, there are two check boxes:

oRemove source document: If you select this, memoQ removes the source-language document from the corpus when it creates the alignment pair from the two documents. This is not selected by default.

oRemove target document: If you select this, memoQ removes the target-language document from the corpus when it creates the alignment pair from the two documents. This is selected by default.

Note: When you link two documents, memoQ creates a new alignment pair in the LiveDocs corpus. However, the original documents also remain in the corpus. With these check boxes, you can remove one or both of the original documents when the alignment pair is created.
