Under Default resources, you can choose the light resources (segmentation rules, auto-translation rules, QA settings etc.) for all new projects you create in this copy of memoQ.

Do not change default resources here, use templates instead: When you create projects from templates, memoQ will use the resources and settings that are set in the template. Those can be different from the default resources. With templates, you have more control over what goes into a new project.

How to get here

1.Open the Options window: At the very top of the memoQ window - in the Quick Access toolbar quick-access-default -, click the Options (cogwheels) quick-access-options icon. The Options window opens.

2.Under Category, click Default resources. The Default resources pane appears.

What can you do?

Choose a resource type. memoQ comes with a number of pre-installed local resources:

Segmentation rules: one each for all supported source languages

Quality assurance settings: one generic set of settings for all languages

Export path rules

TM settings

LiveDocs settings

Auto-translation rule sets for some languages

Ignore lists: no pre-installed ignore list, but you can create one or more

AutoCorrect lists: no pre-installed AutoCorrect list, but you can create one or more

Web search: generic sets of settings for the languages you have choosen from the source and target drop-down lists here. Select your web search settings, which you want to use in your projects, here.

LQA models: pre-installed LQA models, but you can create your own models or more.

Note: LQA models in any other UI language than English need to be published on your memoQ server to make them available in online projects (see this Knowledge Base article)

Font substitution: settings to change the font for document export.

To choose a resource type, click the corresponding icon at the top.

For each resource type, you can use the same commands as in the Resource console: you can create new resources, delete or edit existing ones; import new resources from *.mqres (XML) files, export the resources to *.mqres files, and clone (make copies) of them.

It is not recommended to create or import new resources here.

In the list of resources, each resource has a check box. If a check box is checked, that resource will be used in new projects - but not if a project is created from a template and the template has a different setting.

Some resources are language-dependent. For those resources, you must also choose the language. For example, segmentation rules are turned on for all languages, but when you create a project, memoQ will use the segmentation rule set for the source language of the project.

If there are several resources for a category and for the same language, check the check box of a resource to make it default. The check box of the previous default resource will be cleared.
