What can you do?

Choose what happens to formatting in the matches you receive from MyMemory:

  • Take care of tags: When memoQ sends text to MyMemory, the tags are not sent. The matches you get back from MyMemory will not contain any tags. Normally, memoQ will not include tags in the match. To insert them all at the end of the match, check the Insert required tags at the end of the translation check box.
  • Adjust bold/italic/underline where possible: Normally, memoQ will try to format the match whenever it can make a good guess. This usually means that the target text is formatted as bold/italic/underline if the entire source text is formatted that way. To leave the matches unformatted, clear the Adjust bold/italic/underline where possible check box.

    Open the MyMemory website: Click Visit MyMemory website.
