Welcome to memoQ AGT guide

memoQ Adaptive Generative Translation (AGT) is an AI-powered translation automation tool that uses advanced Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology. It combines the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) with your existing language resources like translation memories, term bases, and aligned documents in LiveDocs to deliver translations that are tailored and accurate.

It integrates seamlessly into your memoQ environment to boost translation quality, speed, and consistency.

 

memoQ AGT is a part of memoQ, not a standalone tool. If you want to use it, make sure you have a subscription to memoQ TMS.

How does it work?

First you need to click the Translate with AGT button in memoQ desktop app, memoQweb, WS API (AiTranslate), or, if you have memoQ version 12.0 or later, you can run an automated action in a template. It then connects to memoQ AGT’s service, which sends a prompt to the LLM running in Azure OpenAI.

At this point memoQ AGT already:

  • Uses Microsoft’s Large Language Models to help with translations.

  • Works with your translation memories, LiveDocs, and terminology to help the AI better understand your project’s style and vocabulary. This leads to translations that fit your specific domain and tone.

memoQ AGT send instructions to a large language model (LLM) to translate sentences. To improve the results, we also show this LLM all the translations of similar sentences from the translation memory (TM) and LiveDocs.

AGT flow showing how AGT works. In the orange frame, there are two tiles and two arrows. The first tile, on the left, says memoQ 10.4, then there's an arrow leading forward to the AGT tile with writing above the arrow saying AGT Pre-trans source segments, TMs, TBs; at the end of this first process. There's also an arrow leading backward to the "memoQ 10.4 tile sayingtarget segments. Outside of this process and the orange frame, there's an arrow saying LLM prompt segment(x); leading towards the Microsoft Azure Open AI; tile and an arrow leading back to the process in the orange frame saying, target segments.
