With this command, you can export alignment pairs or bilingual documents from a LiveDocs corpus into a translation memory.

In principle, you can get the same kinds of matches from LiveDocs corpora and from translation memory. But in some cases, you may prefer to use translation memories because you have more options to filter the contents and check quality. In addition, a translation memory usually occupies less disk space than a LiveDocs corpus that contains the same segment pairs.

Both aligned document pairs and bilingual documents contain segment pairs. memoQ can add these directly to translation memories.

How to get here

1.Open a project. Or, open an online project for management.

2.In Project home - or in the memoQ online project window -, choose LiveDocs.

3.Make sure there is at least one translation memory in the project.

4.In the upper list, check the check box before the name of the LiveDocs corpus you need to export. This adds the corpus to the project. You need to do this; otherwise you can't click Export to TM.

5.At the bottom, memoQ lists the documents and document pairs from the selected LiveDocs corpus.

6.Select the documents and document pairs you want to export to a translation memory. To select several documents: Press and hold down Ctrl, then click the name of each document or document pair.

7.On the LiveDocs ribbon, click Export to TM.

If you come from the memoQ online project window: Right-click the selected documents. From the menu, choose Export to TM.

The Export to TM window opens.
