To use a non-translatable list, you need to add it to the project. You should do this before you send work to translators. A project can have one or more non-translatable lists.

To add a non-translatable list to the project:

1. In the list of non-translatable lists, find the non-translatable list you need.
2. Click its check box on the left.

   The non-translatable list moves to the top of the list.

Normally, memoQ will take non-translatable lists from your own computer. However, you can use online non-translatable lists from memoQ TMSs that you have access to.

To view the non-translatable lists from a memoQ TMS or from a memoQ TMS cloud:

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

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

You may need to log in: If you access this server for the first time, the Log in to server window opens. You need a user name and a password to access the server.

2. memoQ will show the non-translatable lists from that server.

   You must have permission for the non-translatable lists:It is not enough to have access to the memoQ TMS. To use a non-translatable list, you need at least Use permission over the non-translatable list itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ TMS.

3. To use a non-translatable list from a memoQ TMS, simply check its check box.

If there are too many non-translatable lists on the list, you can filter the list. At the top of the Non-translatable lists 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 non-translatable lists 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 a non-translatable list into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like non-translatable lists, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export a non-translatable list:

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

   Or: Right-click the non-translatable list. 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 non-translatable list in the file.

   You can also import a non-translatable list from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new non-translatable list.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains a non-translatable list.

To import a non-translatable list from an .mqres file:

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