MemoQ - Creating a template - 23.05.2024

# data[].attributes.body
"Template" in MemoQ refers to a set of predefined settings and configurations used to streamline and standardize translation projects. Templates help translators and project managers ensure consistency and efficiency across multiple projects

# data[].attributes.body
1. Creating and naming a new template

# data[].attributes.body
2. Filling project specifications, including name and languages

# data[].attributes.body
3. Inserting all TMs and TBs which would be useful for a certain type of projects

# data[].attributes.body
4. Creating a new project by using a previously made template

# data[].attributes.body
Reflections: at first, it might be more time-consuming than creating a new project without it, but once it is made, it can be a timesaver for translators who often work on similar projects. It can also help to organise work and improve workflow.

# data[].attributes.body
Future learning needs:

1. Creating templates for different kinds of projects

2. Learning how to organise resources in MemoQ (e.g. manage TMs and TBs, saving them with proper domains)

3. Setting up project specifications

4. Performing translation by using prompts, accepting prompts from MT

# data[].attributes.body
5. Saving target text in different fromats

# data[].attributes.body
6. Running QA

My reflections:

Smartcat is an intuitive and easy to use CAT tool, especially for people who has already worked with different CAT tools, such as Phrase. It enables performing act of translation faster and more efficiently.

# data[].attributes.body
Future learning needs:

1. Managing project in SMARTCAT (e.g. assigning jobs for tranlators, editors, proofreaders and tracking progress, deadlines and budget)

Subtitle Edit is a software application designed for creating, editing, and synchronising subtitles for video files. It is widely used by video editors, subtitlers, and translators to manage subtitle files.

Future learning needs:

1. Exploring spell checking and grammar tools in the program

2. Exploring advanced text editing

3. Learning how to run a QA e.g. reading speed analysis

Reflections: While performing the task, I came across a problem i.e. lack of the spell checker. As I was searching for a solution to this problem, I found out that it is necessary to instal a plugin of your target languages along with the app.

Future learning needs:

1. Exploring how Xbench plugin works with other CAT tools such as SMARTCAT or TRADOS

2. Exploring Xbench functions connected with TBs
