Edit filter configurations
When memoQ imports a document, it gets the text out of it, and stores the formatting (and everything else that doesn't need to be translated) in a safe place. The part that is not the text is called a skeleton. When the translation is done, memoQ puts the translated text back in the original skeleton.
A filter configuration shows memoQ what text needs to be translated, what is a comment, and the context of each part of the text. Sometimes, the filter configuration also shows how to put the translated text back into the skeleton.
Getting the filter configuration right is essential. It determines how much text you will have to work on or how many tags you need to deal with.
