   The MT profile appears in the list at the top. Its check mark will be checked - it will be ready to use in the project.

A project can have exactly one MT profile.

To use an existing MT profile in the project:

1. In the list of MT profiles, find the MT profile you need.
2. Click its check box on the left.

   The MT profile moves to the top of the list. The check box of the previous one will be cleared.

If an MT service in the selected MT profile does not support one or more of the project's language pairs, a warning windows appears.

Normally, memoQ will take MT profiles from your own computer. However, you can use online MT profiles from memoQ servers that you have access to.

To view the MT profiles from a memoQ server or from a memoQ cloud:

1. On the Project ribbon, there is a memoQ server icon, or a memoQ server dropdown. Click the icon or dropdown.

Type or choose the address of the memoQ server, and click the Select button.

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.

2. memoQ will show the MT profiles from that server.

   You must have permission for the MT profiles: It is not enough to have access to the memoQ server. To use an MT profile, you need at least Use permission over the MT profile itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ server.

3. To use an MT profile from a memoQ server, simply check its check box.

If an MT service in the selected MT profile does not support one or more of the project's language pairs, a warning windows appears.

If there are too many MT profiles on the list, you can filter it. At the top of the MT settings 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 MT profiles that have those words in their names or descriptions.

To sort the list by a detail: Click the 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 an MT profile into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like MT profiles, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export an MT profile:

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

Or: Right-click the MT profile. 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 MT profile in the file.

   You can also import an MT profile from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new MT profile.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains an MT profile.

To import an MT profile from an .mqres file:

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