Importing a MemoQ Complete Project (XPR file)

15 July 2008

When a translator is assigned a MemoQ project an XPR file is sent. This file with an .xpr extension is a file that contains all the necessary ressources for the project:

  • the files to be translated
  • a Translation Memory (TM) on the server
  • a Terminology Database (TB) on the server
  • and project specific information (project number, domain, etc.)

In order to import a Complete Project you can either double click the file or open MemoQ and go to the File menu and choose Import Complete Project as seen below.

Once the project has been imported there’s only one thing to be checked before starting the translation. In the Settings tab in the Project manager window check that in the created by field your name appears in the correct format – first name initial and last name. For example: Jdoe, Pdiaz, Fmartin.

Once this has been done you can start translating by going back to the Translations tab and double clicking in one of the documents available.
