To use a non-translatable list, you need to add it to the project. You should do this before you send work to translators. A project can have one or more non-translatable lists.

To add a non-translatable list to the project:

1. In the list of non-translatable lists, find the non-translatable list you need.
2. Click its check box on the left.

   The non-translatable list moves to the top of the list.

Normally, memoQ will take non-translatable lists from your own computer. However, you can use online non-translatable lists from memoQ servers that you have access to.

To view the non-translatable lists from a memoQ server or from a memoQ cloud subscription:

1. On the Project ribbon, there is a memoQ server icon, or a memoQ server drop-down box. Click the icon, and type or choose the address of the memoQ server. Or, simply type or choose the address of the memoQ server if the drop-down box is there on the ribbon.

   

2. After you type or choose the address of the memoQ server, click the tick mark icon.

   You may need to log in to the memoQ server: If you have not used the server before, the Log in to server window opens. Type your user name and password for that server, and click OK.

3. memoQ will show the non-translatable lists from that server.

   You must have permission for the non-translatable lists:It is not enough to have access to the memoQ server. To use a non-translatable list, you need at least Use permission over the non-translatable list itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ server.

4. To use a non-translatable list from a memoQ server, simply check its check box.

If there are too many non-translatable lists on the list, you can filter the list. At the top of the Non-translatable lists tab, there is a Name/description box.

Type a word or two in the Name/description box. It will narrow the list immediately to those non-translatable lists that have those words in their names or descriptions.

To sort the list by a detail or another: Click the column header of the column you need. For example, to sort the list by name, click the Name header at the top of the list.

You can export a non-translatable list into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like non-translatable lists, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export a non-translatable list:

1. In the list, select the non-translatable list you need to export.
2. Under the list, click Export. A Save As window opens.

   Or: Right-click the non-translatable list. From the menu, choose Export.

3. Find a folder and a name for the file, and click Save. memoQ will export all details from the non-translatable list in the file.

   You can also import a non-translatable list from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new non-translatable list.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains a non-translatable list.

To import a non-translatable list from an .mqres file:

1. At the bottom of the non-translatable lists tab, click Import new. An Open window appears.
2. Select the .mqres file. Click Open.
3. The Import new non-translatable list window opens. It's the same as the Create new non-translatable list window.
4. memoQ will pick up the name of the non-translatable list from the .mqres file. However, you can give it a new name, and type a new description, too.
5. Click OK.
