Setting up machine translation plugins on memoQ TMS

memoQ doesn’t translate text on its own but connects to external machine translation (MT) tools and services.

Each service has its own settings, which you can configure and save into an MT settings profile.

Want to check which plugins we currently support? Check the complete list of public and private MT plugins.

If you need to set up a public plugin, start with the Resouce Console in the desktop app.

 

To set up a private plugin, follow the below steps:

1. First, stop memoQ TMS.

2. Find the C:\Program Files\Kilgray\MemoQ Server\Addins folder  and copy your *DLL file into that folder.

3. Next, right-click the *DLL file, and select Properties, then click General tab and then Unblock (you can find it at the bottom of the window).

4. Then, go to the C:\ProgramData\MemoQ Server location and look for the UserApprovedUnsignedMTplugins.xml file.

   The ProgramData folder is hidden by default, so we recommend copying and pasting the full path into the Windows address bar.

5. Once you found the UserApprovedUnsignedMTplugins.xml file, open it for editing and add the <Name>FileName</Name> part.

   It should look like this:

   

   The FileName should be the name of the *.DLL file (without the extension).

   For example:

   If the *.DLL file's name is LanguageJokes.dll, then the part that you need to add should look like this:

   <Name>LanguageJokes</Name>

6. Save the changes that you made on the file.

7. And then start the memoQ TMS.

Now you can find selected plugin on your memoQ TMS.
