   To learn more: See Help about the Create new TM settings window.

5. Click OK.

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

Always clone the default TM settings: You can't edit the Default TM settings resource. If you need a resource that you can edit, make a copy of (clone) the default one.

To use a TM settings resource, you need to add it to the project. You should add a TM settings resource before you send documents to translators. A project always has exactly one TM settings resource.

If you do not make a change, memoQ will always use the Default TM settings resource for the project. To use another:

1. In the list of TM settings, find the TM settings resource you need.
2. Click its check box on the left.

   The TM settings resource moves to the top of the list. The check box of the previous one will be cleared.

Normally, memoQ will take TM settings resources from your own computer. However, you can use online TM settings resources from memoQ TMSs that you have access to.

To view the TM settings resources 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 TM settings resources from that server.

   You must have permission for the TM settings resources: It is not enough to have access to the memoQ TMS. To use a TM settings resource, you need at least Use permission over the TM settings resource itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ TMS.

3. To use a TM settings resource from a memoQ TMS, simply check its check box.

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

To export a TM settings resource:

1. In the list, select the TM settings resource you need to export.

2. Under the list, click Export. A Save As window opens.

   Or: Right-click the TM settings resource. 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 TM settings resource in the file.

You can also import a TM settings resource from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new TM settings resource.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains a TM settings resource.

To import a TM settings resource from an .mqres file:

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