Advanced filters
In the Advanced filters window, you can set the conditions for filtering the rows in the translation editor.
memoQ will show those rows that meet the conditions.
How to get here
- Open a project.
- Open a document for editing.
- At the top of the translation editor, click the Advanced filters icon.
The Advanced filters window opens.
What can you do?
Go through the four tabs of the Advanced filters window, and choose the conditions you need. You can filter segments by their status, the comments and tags they contain, and their updated or synchronized state (in local copies of online projects). Here is a description of every group of settings:
- All rows (no filtering) radio button: Select this if you do not want to filter the segments for their status.
- Not confirmed in any role radio button: Jumps to segments that have any status but not confirmed by translator, reviewer 1 or reviewer 2.
- Translator confirmed, Reviewer 1 confirmed, or Reviewer 2 confirmed radio button: Jumps to segments that are Translator confirmed, Reviewer 1 confirmed or Reviewer 2 confirmed.
- Pre-translated radio button: Displays segments that were filled in through pre-translation and were not changed since.
- Match rate radio button: Displays segments that were originally pre-translated or filled in with a certain match rate. (Since then, they may have been edited or confirmed, but the match rate is still there.) Type two numbers in the boxes next to the radio button. For example, if you type 80 to 90, memoQ displays segments with matches between 80 and 90 percent.
- Error radio button: Displays segments that have errors that prevent the document from being exported.
- Change or conflict mark radio button: Displays segments that contain marks that indicate that the segment was changed by another user, or that the segment was modified by multiple users at the same time. Such marks appear when more than one users work on a document in an online project.
- Repetitions radio button: Displays segments that are marked as repetitions. This setting is different from the settings in the Filters by frequency section.
- Non-repetitions radio button: Displays segments that are not marked as repetitions.
- Locked radio button: Displays locked segments.
- Not locked radio button: Displays segments that are not locked.
- Match rate (%): Displays every segment that was originally pre-translated or filled in with a certain match rate. (Since then, they may have been edited or confirmed, but the match rate is still there.) Check the check box before the two number boxes. Fill in the number boxes with two numbers. For example, if you enter 80 and 90, memoQ will give you segments that were originally pre-translated or filled in with a match rate between 80 and 90 percent.
- Row status:
- Not started: Check this to see every empty – not started – segments. This is the default setting.
- Edited: Check this to see every segment that was edited but was not confirmed.
- Assembled from fragments: Check this to see every segment put together from terms or other partial matches (fragments).
- Single 100% match: Check this to see every segment that is a 100% match and comes from pre-translation.
- Single 101% match: Check this to see every segment that is a 101% match and comes from pre-translation.
- Multiple 100% or 101% matches: Check this to see every segment that is a 100% or 101% match and comes from pre-translation.
- Translator confirmed: Check this to see every confirmed segment.
- Reviewer 1 confirmed: Check this to see every segment that was confirmed by the Reviewer 1 role.
- Reviewer 2 confirmed: Check this to see every proofread segment.
- Rejected: Check this to see all rejected segments.
- Locked or not:
- Both locked and unlocked segments: Includes all rows in the view, regardless of their locked or unlocked status.
- Only locked segments: Includes only the locked – not translatable – segments.
- Skip locked segments: Includes only the not locked – translatable – segments.
- Other properties:
- Auto-joined/split: Check this to see every auto-joined/split segments.
- X-translated: Check this to see every x-translated segment (as XLT or 102% match displayed)
- Error: Check this to see errors that prevents the document from being exported.
- Unsuppressed warning: Check this to see warnings that was not set to 'ignore'. Warnings do not prevent the document from being exported.
- Repetition: Check this to see segments that is a repetition of another segment within the text.
- Not a repetition: Check this to see segments that are not repetitions of another segment within the text.
- Commented: Check this to see every segment that contains a comment.
- Auto-propagated: Check this to see every segment that came from auto-propagation.
- Marked by Find/Replace: Check this to see every segment that was marked as a Find and replace hit.
- Change-tracked: Check this to see every segment where track changes were used and the original target segment was modified.
- Bilingual update warning: Check this to view segments that were modified when the document was updated from a bilingual file.
Online document synchronization section:
- Change downloaded from server: In a local copy of an online project, check this to view segments that were modified by another user, and were downloaded from a memoQ server – from the master copy of the document.
- Conflict: client's version stored in server: In a local copy of an online project, check this to view segments that were in conflict with another change by another user, and it was your change that was stored on the memoQ server – in the master copy of the document.
- Conflict: client's version rejected by the server: In a local copy of an online project, check this to view segments that were in conflict with another change by another user, and your change was rejected by the server, so that the other user's version "won".
Last changed section:
- Choose a name from the User name and the Translator drop-down boxes. Choose a date in the Modified after box. memoQ will show rows that were modified by the specified user, translated by the specified translator, and modified after the specified date. Before you choose, click Get user names: memoQ will get the names of users you can choose from.
Inserted match section:
- Inserted match has been edited: Matches every row where an inserted match has been recorded and the row's current target segment is different from the recorded target segment.
- Translated from scratch: Matches every row where no inserted match has been recorded.
- Row has active language quality error: Check this if you want to jump to those segments which have an LQA error indicated.
- Source has memoQ {tag}: Check this to restrict the view to segments where the source text includes an uninterpreted formatting tag.
- Target has memoQ {tag}: Check this to restrict the view to segments where the target text includes an uninterpreted formatting tag.
- Source has inline tag: Check the check box to restrict the view to segments where the source text contains inline tags with a specific text. Type the text in the box next to the check box. To type two or more expressions, separate them with commas (,).
- Target has inline tag: Check the check box to restrict the view to segments where the target text contains inline tags with a specific text. Type the text in the box next to the check box. To type two or more expressions, separate them with commas (,).
When you enter inline tags, you can also refer to attributes belonging to inline tags. You can type expressions where you specify that you need a tag that has an attribute with a specific value. If you want to refer to an attribute of a tag, type the name of the tag, then a > sign, and then the name of the attribute. If you are interested in a specific value of an attribute, type yet another > sign, and then the value. Here are your options:
- tagname: finds all tags that have tagname occurring in their names. Example: ingredient will find all of these:
- tagname>attributename: finds all tags that have a specific attribute, regardless of its value. Example: ingredient>type will find this:
- tagname>attributename>value: finds all tags that have a specific attribute with a specific value. Example: ingredient>unit>cup will find these two:
- You can omit the name of the tag or the attribute. This means you can find inline tags where the tag name is different but they have the same attribute. Or, you can look for inline tags where both the tag name and the attribute name are different, but they share a common value. To find the above two segments, you can type this: >unit>cup, or this: >>cup.
- If the value contains spaces or commas, write them between quotes. Example: >author>name>"Technical Writer".
- Anything you write in the value part without quotes or with double quotes will be found as part of text of the value. For example, ingredient>unit>c will find this:
- If you want an exact match, write the value between single quotes: ingredient>unit>'cup'.
- To write a double quote inside a value name, type it with a back slash: \". To write a single quote (apostrophe) inside a value name, type it (again) with a back slash: \'.
Because you can write relatively complex expressions here, memoQ warns you if your input has wrong syntax: the background of the text box turns light red if there is something wrong with what you are typing:
Using more than one condition
If you check two or more check boxes (even on different tabs), memoQ shows segments that meet any of those conditions. In formal logic, this is called an OR relation. Only one condition works differently: Locked or not is in an AND relation with all the other selected settings.
To use more conditions in an AND relation: Do the steps below for each condition.
- Click the Advanced filters icon.
- Check one condition's check box.
- Click OK.
If no segments in the selected views or documents meet the conditions you choose, the view will be empty.
When you finish
To filter the rows, and return to the translation editor: Click OK.
To return to the translation editor, without filtering the rows: Click Cancel.
