Select corpus settings

A LiveDocs settings (or corpus settings) resource tells memoQ how to get matches from a LiveDocs corpus. This means two things: match thresholds and penalties. Match thresholds set the minimum match rate of any match that memoQ shows, and tell memoQ what counts as a good match. These are used in pre-translation. Penalties are used when a match is not reliable: if the translation is bad or inadequate (or, in the case of LiveDocs, comes from an aligned document pair, and there is a misalignment), the match will be worse than the actual match rate.

To learn more about penalties, see the topic about editing LiveDocs settings.

Normally, a LiveDocs settings resource belongs to a project, not to a LiveDocs corpus.

However, in a project, you can make an exception: You can use a LiveDocs corpus, and tell memoQ to use a different LiveDocs settings resource for that corpus.

How to get here

  1. Open a project.
  2. In Project home, choose LiveDocs.
  3. Select a LiveDocs corpus. Check its check box to include it in the project.
  4. On the LiveDocs ribbon, click Settings.

    The Select Corpus Settings window opens.

  1. Open an online project for management.
  2. In the memoQ online project window, choose LiveDocs.
  3. Select a LiveDocs corpus. Check its check box to include it in the project.
  4. Under the first list - in the middle of the LiveDocs pane -, click Settings.

    The Select Corpus Settings window opens.
