Import Star Transit™ project |
memoQ can import projects generated by STAR Transit™ XV and STAR Transit™ NXT. This enables you to process jobs in STAR Transit™ format. You receive STAR Transit™ projects in a compressed file with the .pxf or the .ppf extension. memoQ can import these as complete projects. Once imported, you can work on the documents in the project as if they were memoQ documents.
You can deliver a project by choosing Settings pane of the Project manager > Export complete project or choosing Translations pane of the Project manager > Export stored path. When you use Export stored path, memoQ only saves the selected files into the delivery package.
Importing a STAR Transit™ project
To import a Star Transit™ project, choose Import Transit project from the Project menu. After locating and selectinbg the .pxf or .ppf file, the Import Transit PXF package wizard starts. In this wizard, you can specify a name and location for the memoQ project that will contain the information extracted from the STAR Transit™ project. This wizard is similar to the New memoQ Project Wizard.
Step 1: Project information
The first page of the Import Transit PXF package wizard is similar to the Project information page of the New memoQ project wizard. memoQ automatically suggests a project name and fills in the languages. The Project, Client, Domain and Subject values are also inherited from the STAR Transit™ project. You can change the details here. Click Next to proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Setting up translation documents
In the second page of the Import Transit PXF package wizard, you can specify import options and export options for the STAR Transit™ project. Projects are different in STAR Transit™ and in memoQ. This page enables you to configure some mappings.
Import options – general area:
| · | Treat markup as XML: Check this check box to try importing markup as XML markup. If you have this check box enabled, you have more freedom in editing inline tags. However, not all files contain valid XML markup. If the project cannot be imported with this option enabled, disable it. |
| · | Import comments from source language files: STAR Transit™ can place comments both in source and target files as it treats these as separate files. By default, memoQ imports comments from the target. Check this check box to import the source comments as well. |
Import options – segment status area:
| · | Spell checked is “proofred” in memoQ: STAR Transit™ distinguishes between several segment statuses for finished segments, while memoQ has Confirmed and Proofread only. With this check box enabled, a Spell checked segment in Transit will be imported into memoQ as Proofread. |
| · | Checked 1 is “proofred” in memoQ: STAR Transit™ distinguishes between several segment statuses for finished segments, while memoQ has Confirmed and Proofread only. With this check box enabled, a Checked 1 segment in Transit will be imported into memoQ as Proofread. |
| · | Checked 2 is “proofred” in memoQ: STAR Transit™ distinguishes between several segment statuses for finished segments, while memoQ has Confirmed and Proofread only. With this check box enabled, a Checked 2 segment in Transit will be imported into memoQ as Proofread. |
Export options area:
| · | Export context matches as 100%: STAR Transit™ does not have a context match feature, but it can have any match value. Enable this check box to export 101% matches as 100% matches. Disable it to export 101% matches as 101% matches. If you disable this check box, it will be possible to recognize that the package was translated in memoQ. |
| · | Export proofread segments as: STAR Transit™ distingui shes between several segment statuses for finished segments, while memoQ has Confirmed and Proofread only. Select how you want memoQ to export Proofread segments. The options in the drop-down list are: Spell checked, Checked 1, and Checked 2. |
Click Next to continue.
Step 3: Setting up translation memories
The third page of the Import Transit PXF package wizard is similar to the Translation memories page of the New memoQ project wizard. It is recommended to add at least one translation memory to the project. If your STAR Transit™ project contained reference documents, the contents of these documents can be imported into a translation memory. Select a translation memory in the project from the Import reference material into this translation memory drop-down list.
Note: STAR Transit™ does not work with translation memories. Instead, it uses reference documents. In reality, reference documents are translation memories built on the fly. memoQ creates a translation memory from the reference documents contained in the project.
