New corpus

The New corpus window opens when you create a new LiveDocs corpus in memoQ.

memoQ's LiveDocs technology allows you to reuse existing translations without going through a translation memory. You can also use it to add background material to the project.

A LiveDocs corpus is a collection of documents. It can contain monolingual documents, bilingual documents, as well as aligned document pairs.

memoQ can look up phrases and segments in a LiveDocs corpus in the same way as in a translation memory.

Empty corpus: The new LiveDocs corpus you create will not contain any documents or document pairs. You will be able to add documents to it, from a project or from the Resource Console. To learn how to add documents to a LiveDocs corpus, see Help about the LiveDocs pane of Project home.

Lookups are controlled through LiveDocs settings: To learn how memoQ searches for segments in a LiveDocs corpus, see Help about editing a LQA model.

LiveDocs corpora work with all languages: An empty LiveDocs corpus has no languages. You can add documents and document pairs of any language. A LiveDocs corpus offers matches in all the languages of the documents in it.
