First steps with memoQ AGT

After you log in to memoQ AGT, the memoQ AGT dashboard opens.

AGT dashboard showing usage data (total usage, current usage, remaining characters). Below there is the API keys list, as well as the Create API key button with the input field to insert its name.

Here you can:

Check your usage data

Check the Total usage section - if you want to know how many characters you used in total since you started translating with memoQ AGT.

To focus on the current numbers, check the Current usage and the Remaining characters sections.

How do we calculate characters?

In memoQ AGT characters are source and target content + translatable source.

What does the usage number include?

  • The source segment to be translated.

  • The source and the target of the TM, LiveDocs, and TB hits.

  • The character count in your project.

What does Context mean?

Those are TM, LiveDocs, and TB matches - source and target character count.

AGT counts ONLY the source and target characters of the context and the source characters of the translated text. It doesn't count the prompt.

There is a limit to the context you can use based on your TMs and TBs.

Remember, providing too much context information can overwhelm the prompt and result in rejecting the translation request.

You need an API key to authorize the memoQ AGT plugin in the memoQ TMS.

To create your API key:

  1. Under the Remaining characters field, enter the name of the key. Make it as descriptive as possible so you can find it later and know who is using the key.

  2. Click the Create API key button.

  3. The New API key created page opens, displaying your newly created API key.

    The New API key created page in the top left corner showing memoQ and AGT logo, in the top right corner, there are More about memoQ and FAQ buttons, and your email address. Below, there's the information that the new API key was created and that you have to save it somewhere safe because it will not be displayed again. Below this information, there is your APU key. On the left, there's the Back to admin page link.

    Save this API key. memoQ AGT will not display it again. If you lose it, you need to create a new one.

  4. Now, you need to log in to memoQ and activate memoQ AGT there.

    To do that, in the AGT plugin settings window, find the API key field and paste your code there

You can remove an API key that you no longer use.

To do that:

  1. Go to the main memoQ AGT window.

  2. Under the API keys section, find the key you want to remove and click Remove.

  3. memoQ AGT opens the confirmation window. Here you can verify basic information about the key you are about to remove.

    The Remove this API key page in the top left corner showing memoQ and AGT logo, in the top right corner, there are More about memoQ and FAQ buttons, and your email address. Below, there's the information that you are about to remove the selected API key, and the date of its creation, and its description. On the left, there are the Yes, remove API key button, and No, keep it link.

  4. To confirm, click the Yes, remove API key button.

    The API key creation date and description will still be visible under the API keys section, but the key will be permanently removed.

    To keep the API key, click the No, keep it button.

You can manage your subscription at any point.

To do that, click Manage subscription in the top-right corner, under your email address. You'll be redirected to my memoQ.

Tips and tricks

You should know that:

  • memoQAGT works better with more resources and bigger translation volumes.

  • If you do not have a lot of resources, try to pre-translate your document in sections.

    For example, the first section will cover the segments 1-10, the second section segments 11-30, and the third section segments 31-70. This way you can leverage from your own translations.

  • Your translation memory should follow your terminology. If your TM contains wrong or old terminology pre-translation can use it.

  • Translation memories are the most important resources you can use.

  • Term base matches are always send to memoQ AGT.
