New memoQ version 9.4
16 June 2020
A few words about the changes in the new memoQ version.
Recently, a new memoQ version has been released—9.4. Key changes:
- If any grammar issue is detected in the segment, then the specific section with the error gets underlined instead of the whole segment. Similarly to Word, grammar issues in memoQ are underlined in blue.
- Direct import of Trados Studio translation memories has been added. Previously, you would need to export an SDLTM file into an exchange TMX format first (translation memory exchange) and then import it into memoQ. Starting from version 9.4, memoQ allows importing SDLTM files instantly, without any intermediate conversions.
- Integration with Protemos has been implemented. From now on, a single click is enough to create a memoQ project out of a Protemos project or, vice versa, immediately create a symmetric Protemos project for an existing memoQ project.
- Numerous changes and improvements concerning the use of machine translation plugins.
And a lot of other stuff has been added.

Cherokee writing system: familiar but weird
About using symbols A Native American chief named Sequoyah, also known to the world as George Guess, knew no English but often saw European settlers writing in it. His native language was Cherokee, which at that time (the early 19th century) did not yet have an alphabet. Realizing that sounds could be represented by signs and […]
The amusing homophony of English
Amusing to tears In English, due to its twisted spelling, it is not always possible to exactly identify the word pronounced. What is meant by [raɪt]—right, rite, wright, write? Pronounced similarly and written differently, these words are called homophones. Lots of jokes are based on homophony. For instance, May 4 is celebrated as the so-called Star Wars Day because the […]
A bear’s service to aspiring translators
That infamous awkward moment On an annoyingly regular basis, we find ourselves in the same situation: some John Smith says, “Hey, I know you do translations professionally, and my daughter (sister, niece) just happens to have graduated with a linguistics degree and is now looking for a job. She speaks English (German, French) so great! […]
