Question 2

In memoQ, what is a 'LiveDocs' corpus primarily used for?

Accepted Answer

LiveDocs corpora in memoQ store reference documents that can be searched via concordance but do not feed into the translation memory.

Question 3

What does the SRX (Segmentation Rules eXchange) format define?

Accepted Answer

Rules for how source text is split into translatable segments

SRX is an open standard that defines language-specific rules for segmenting text into sentences or other units before translation.

Question 4

A translator receives a project with a '74% fuzzy match.' What does this most accurately mean?

Accepted Answer

The TM found a similar—but not identical—segment matching 74% of the source text

Answer

A fuzzy match percentage indicates how similar a stored TM segment is to the current source segment, requiring the translator to edit the proposed match.

Question 5

Which QA check specifically detects when a target segment is significantly shorter or longer than its source segment?

Accepted Answer

Length check (segment length ratio)

Answer

Length or segment-length ratio checks flag unusual size differences between source and target, which may indicate omissions or additions.
