Here's information and a script for converting regular expression libraries in the popular RegexBuddy app to the #memoQ Regex Assistant. Interoperability between these two solution management tools facilitates sharing among users of diverse #translation management platforms, external solution providers and more. Even current users of the Regex Assistant can benefit from using RegexBuddy for analysis and debugging of expressions for text search, find & replace and quality assurance, so a conversion tool like this can help with such processes.

These will work with any translation environment such as Trados Studio, Phrase or Wordfast capable of using regular expressions for Find & Replace. Also with other text processing programs that are regex-savvy.

There are many aspects of terminology application in the #memoQ #translation environment. It's much more than just term bases. For example, auto-translation rules can be made to convert structured information like dates, citations, numbers with units and currency expressions (see screenshot) into consistent target language formats that are preferred or specified by a style guide.
Join the free memoQ terminology skills workshops on February 20 & 27 and learn about auto-translation rules and many other ways to come to better terms with the world's best translation organization toolkit!
