Extracting mqxliff from mqback is easy
Recently, we learned how to extract .xlf file from .mqxlz. XLIFF file in memoQ. Similar method is used to extract .mqxliff file from a memoQ delivery package, .mqback file.
Like some other memoQ files, .mqback file is a usual ZIP archive. If you add .zip extension to its name and then unpack it, you get a set of .mqxliff files and a “technical” .xml file (like DeliveryPackageInfo.xml).
.mqxliff files can be processed like any other bilingual file. I.e., you can import them to memoQ project, run QA in Xbench (even in the free version, 2.9), etc.
