Edit project template

In online projects, several people work on the same project. There are extra settings to set up how the project will behave, and who will translate and review.

You need to choose the rest of the settings, too.

1. In the top right corner of the Edit project template window: Click the closed eye. The Online project settings and the People categories appear.

   

2. Adjust the online project workflow, checkout options, and communication: Online project settings
3. Choose who translators and reviewers will be: People

You can't just type a project name here. This is a template: Several new projects will use the details you set here. You need to set up rules that memoQ uses to set the names of new projects.

You can put together the project name from fields (or placeholders).

Fields you can use:

• Project: Contents of the Project box. This is an overall project name that can be used for several jobs.
• Domain: Contents of the Domain box. Use this if you need a subcategory under the subject field.
• Client: Contents of the Client box. Name of the client who orders the job.
• Subject: Contents of the Subject box. Name of the subject field.
• SrcLangIso2: Two-letter code of the source language.
• SrcLangIso3: Three-letter code of the source language.
• TrgLangIso2: Two-letter code of the target language.
• TrgLangIso3: Three-letter code of the target language.
• TrgLangListIso2: Two-letter codes of the target languages (if there are two or more).
• TrgLangListIso3: Three-letter codes of the target languages (if there are two or more).
• YYYY: The year when the project is created.
• MM: The month when the project is created.
• DD: The day when the project is created.
• HH-MM: The time of day (hours, minutes) when the project is created.

You don't have to use all of them. But make sure the name will be different for each new project.

For example, if the Project name box has {Project}-{Client}-{SrcLangIso2} in it: The name of the project will be Localization-memoQLtd-EN if

• the Project is Localization
• the Client is memoQLtd
• and the source language of the project is English (without a sublanguage).

  Fill in the Project, Domain, Client, and Subject boxes. If the Project name box contains placeholders for Project, Domain, Client, or Subject, you must fill in that box. In the example above, you must fill in the Project and the Client boxes.

In these four boxes, you can choose the values from lists, too. But you must set up the list first. Click the icon next to one of the fields. The Predefined values window appears.

After you set up a list of values, you can't edit that box: you must choose from the list. If you want to edit the box again, click the icon again, and delete all items from the list.

Always type a description, so that you remember the purpose and origin of this project template.

To always create an online project, even if you are creating a local project from this template: Check the Publish on server after creation check box. If you create a local project from the template, memoQ automatically publishes it on a server that you choose.

Can't do this in Translator pro: You need the Project manager edition of memoQ to do this.

Choose a source language from the Source language drop-down box.

One target language in Translator pro: Choose one target language for the new project.

Several target languages in Project manager: In the Target language(s) box, check the check boxes of the target languages that you want to use.

You don't have to choose languages: If you do not choose source or target languages, memoQ tries to set them automatically when you create a new project from this template. memoQ will try to detect the source language from the documents you add to the project. It will remember target languages from before.

Choose the sensitivity of term bases: If you check the Treat sublanguages as separate languages in TB lookup check box, memoQ doesn't check English (US) if the source language is English (UK), for example.

1. Make sure your Language Terminal profile is saved in memoQ. You can do this in the memoQ menu, in My memoQ. (Use the Language Terminal account wizard.)

   For online projects: The memoQ server must also be connected to the organization's Language Terminal profile. The server's administrator can do this in the Language Terminal pane of Server administrator.

2. Check the Store job details in Language Terminal check box. The Languages section changes into one single Language pair box.

   

3. Choose a language pair from the list. You can choose from language pairs that you have in your Language Terminal profile.

   For local projects, to add a new language pair: Choose New language pair. The Add new language pair window appears. Set up the language pair there, and click OK. The new language pair is saved to Language Terminal.

   For online projects: You can choose from the languages you have in the organization's Language Terminal profile. You cannot add new languages here. To add new languages, visit the organization's profile page on Language Terminal. (Scroll down to the Languages section.)

4. You may fill in the Project, Domain, Client, and Subject boxes. In a local project, the Client and Subject boxes are drop-down lists. They will take the choices from your Language Terminal profile. To add a new client or a new subject, simply type the name in the Client and Subject boxes.

For online projects, you cannot type new values here (and even the Domain box is a drop-down list): To add a new client, start creating an online project without a template, and type the new client name there. Click Next, but then cancel the wizard. To add a new subject field, visit the Subject fields page of the organization's Language Terminal profile. To add a new domain, visit the Domains page of the profile.
