STAR Transit packages (*.pxf, *.ppf)
|
A STAR Transit package can contain one or more documents for translation, as well as reference materials consisting of previously translated documents and terminology. These files can be imported to and exported from memoQ. Transit does not use a centralized translation memory: instead, it reads previously translated documents directly for this purpose. Transit reference material can be imported into a memoQ translation memory when the package is imported. |
Worldserver bilingual documents (*.xlz) |
memoQ can import and export bilingual documents coming from SDL Worldserver, together with segment status mapping and other workflow-specific improvements. Support for WSXZ is already in the making and will happen during 2014. |
