Exchanging translation memories and term bases

Internally, memoQ stores translation memories and term bases in a proprietary database format, which is not readable to human eyes or other programs. In return, memoQ delivers consistently high performance using these databases.

You do not necessarily need to touch these databases. memoQ users can exchange translation memories in the TMX format, and term bases in the CSV format. This is especially useful if the originating memoQ version is different from the recipient’s version of memoQ (say, you want to send a translation memory from memoQ 2.3 to 4.0).
