Antidote's corrector

memoQ connects to Antidote using:

• WebSocket API

• JS-Connect API (for browser environments)

This connection sends only editable target text.

Windows:

• Chrome

• Firefox

• Edge

macOS:

• Chrome

• Firefox

• Safari

The most important rules when using Antidote are:

• Antidote displays plain text only, so formatting (such as bold or italics) isn't visible.

• memoQ doesn't send non-editable, empty, or locked rows to Antidote.

• Tags aren't sent or displayed in Antidote.

Antidote doesn't visually distinguish between editable and non-editable segments.

When changes are returned to memoQ:

• If you correct text that has formatting, memoQ keeps the original formatting.

• If corrected text replaces content with mixed formatting, the new text follows the formatting rules previously applied in memoQ.

  This means that mixed formatting may be simplified after correction.

• If you correct text near a tag, the tag is placed after the modified text.

To start using Antidote with memoQ, first you need to download, install, and activate it. memoQ supports Antidote 's corrector 10 or newer.

How to get here

1. Download and install Connectix (the tool that allows Antidote to connect with other applications).

   After installation, connect Antidote to memoQ editor.

   It's possible that Antidote won't appear immediately in the system tray. If you can't see it, right-click the taskbar and check the Taskbar settings.

2. Open memoQ editor.

3. Open a document for translation.

   Make sure your document's target language is English or French, otherwise Antidote won't work.

4. On the top menu, click Tools and choose Integrations from the dropdown. Then select Antidote's corrector.

   

5. memoQ displays a pop-up window window where you can choose what to send to Antidote’s corrector.

   

   You can send the entire document, filtered rows, or selected rows.

   To confirm your choice, click Send.

6. Antidote's web app opens showing you all the possible corrections. To apply one of them, right-click the correction and choose Replace.

   

   After you choose a correction and replace the text, memoQ editor updates the translation grid accordingly.

   

   Any changes you make either in memoQ editor or Antidote instantly happen in the other window.

What can you do?

• Working with multiple documents

  If your project contains multiple documents, you can open a separate Antidote window for each one.

  When you switch to a different Antidote window, memoQ automatically switches to that window's document or browser tab.

  You can also work with documents from different online projects at the same time and switch between them by selecting another Antidote window.

• Track changes

  Antidote's corrector doesn't display tracked changes. If Track Changes is activated in memoQ and you edit text in Antidote, your edits appear as track changes in memoQ.

To close the current Antidote window: Click the red X button in the window's upper right corner.

What can you do?

To learn how to use Antidote's corrector, read the software's documentation.

When you open Antidote's corrector from memoQweb, Antidote's main window shows all the visible target segments from the currently open document. That is, if a filter is active, segments outside the filter won't appear in Antidote. If you edit a segment in either memoQweb or Antidote, the translation changes in the other window, too.

If your project has more than one document, you can open a separate Antidote window for each. If you switch to another Antidote window, memoQweb switches to the document's browser tab belonging to that window. You can even have multiple documents open from different online projects, and switch between them by going to another Antidote window.

Antidote's corrector does not show tags or formatting. If, in the Antidote window, you edit text which is formatted in memoQweb, the changes will be formatted in memoQweb, too. If only a part of the text that you're editing is formatted, memoQweb tries to find out if the changes should be formatted. If you edit text which has a tag in memoQweb, the tag appears after the edited section of text in memoQweb.

As of August 2021, Antidote's corrector does not display tracked changes from webtrans. If Track Changes is enabled for a document in webtrans, and you change something in Antidote's corrector, webtrans shows it as a tracked change.
