Projects - Create project

Project templates help you to easily set up a project with pre-defined configurations: in the template, you can configure all resources, users and actions. Then, you can create projects with a few clicks.

No template creation or editing in memoQweb: You can use the built-in project templates, and any others already on the memoQ TMS. If you need a new template, or change settings in an existing one, you need to use memoQ's Resource console.

1. In the Project type section, choose the Online project from template option.

2. In the Template section, choose a template from the Suggestion list. OR: 
   Click the Browse templates link. Choose a template in the Browse templates pane. Under the list, click the Select button.

3. In the Properties section, enter the project's Name, Source language, and Target languages. If they are defined in the template, you can change them. To change the content of the Project name field, click the add custom name link under the text box.

4. In the Metadata section, enter the project's usual metadata (Project, Client, Domain, and Subject), and add a Description.

5. To create and open the project: At the bottom of the screen, click the Create project button.
   To discard your changes and return to the Active projects, Projects in Trash, or Archived projects screen: Click the Cancel link.

If you change the source language or remove a target language, there may be users in the project who no longer have any of the project's language pairs. When this happens, a message appears. To remove these users from the project: In the Source language changed or Target languages changed window, click the Remove them button. To keep the users: Click the Keep them button. To return to the Create project page: Click the Cancel link.

1. In the Project type section, choose the Online project option.

2. In the Properties section, fill in the Name, Source language, and Target languages fields.

3. In the Metadata section, enter the project's usual metadata (Project, Client, Domain, and Subject), and add a Description.

4. In the Workflow section, choose settings for tracking changes and online/package project workflow.

5. In the Checkout options section, choose how to handle resources. The options are different if you enabled Package creation in Step 4 above.

   • These options only show if you checked the Allow package creation check box.

     For each resource type, you can choose from the same options:

     • Include resource filtered for project: Users can download a minimum-size TM and TB that contain only the entries that are useful for translating the documents in the project. But these TMs and TBs don't include entries that are saved in the 'live' TMs and TBs during the project. And a lot of entries will be missing from the TMs that could be used for concordancing. But the user will have access to the unfiltered TMs and TBs over the network. This is the default choice for TMs and TBs. You cannot choose this for LiveDocs corpora.

     • Include entire resource: All the project's TMs, TBs, or LiveDocs corpora are downloaded with the package. This can be a huge amount of data, taking a long time to download, and occupying a lot of disk space. Choose this only if the network connection between the users and the memoQ TMS is so bad that otherwise they couldn't receive suggestions. This is the default choice for LiveDocs corpora.

     • Link online resource: There won't be any resources of the given type in the package itself. But when you import the project, memoQ will connect to the online translation memories, term bases, and LiveDocs corpora. Translators must be online to receive results. But this package will be the fastest to download, and occupy the least disk space. This is the default choice for Qterm TBs.

   • If the network might be slow between the translator and your server, check the Create offline copies of TMs and TBs at checkout check box. When the translator checks out the project, memoQ downloads the translation memories and term bases. The checkout will take longer, and the users will need more disk space on their computers - but memoQ will offer suggestions more quickly. Normally, memoQ does not download translation memories and term bases.

     LiveDocs corpora are never downloaded.

   • If you don't want translators or reviewers to create local copies of the project on their own machines, clear the Allow users to check out project checkbox.

6. In the Documents section, choose settings for document history, segmentation, import and export.

7. To create and open the project: At the bottom of the screen, click the Create project button.
   To discard your changes and return to the Active projects, Projects in Trash, or Archived projects screen: Click the Cancel link.
