Arrange tags (MemoQ 9) Thread poster: Kathleen Misson
|
|---|
I am loving the trial of the new memoQ so far. But finding it difficult to find help resources for new features.
I'm excited about 'Arrange tags', because it could save a lot of time and tedium.
But I don't know how to use it and I cannot find any information about it.
Does anyone know how to use it?
For example, can it arrange tags like this (see image)...?
This is text that is in the TM, but the tags differ.

Sometimes I put all the tags at the end of a segment because memoQ requires them in order to export the translation, but I don't want them in the sentence.
Under the Quick Access tab, about mid-right you will see Insert Next Tag (or something like that--I don't have the program open right now). Have your cursor where you want to insert the first tag, if it doesn't already appear in the target, and click Insert Next Tag. It might be a group of them, and they will all insert togethe...

It might be a group of them, and they will all insert together, unless there is a space between them. In that case, just click it again.
The program inserts them in the order that they appear on the source side, but you can place them wherever you want them in the target. ▲ Collapse

The 'Arrange tags' feature does not work for me too.
However, I don't think it can be of much use because different languages may have different syntax. How can memoQ know the exact place to put tags... I don't know.
But still you can contact their support team and ask why this feature doesn't work.

The memoQ manual reads: 'Arrange Tags' arranges the tags in the target segment based on the tag position in the source cell. It means that even if you make it work, it won't insert tags at the end. In theory, it is designed to insert tags at their relevant positions.

This feature simply put tags in the correct order. If a closing tag goes before an opening tag, you can press Alt+F6 to swop them. That's it.
Also you can press F6 to activate the tag insertion mode that allows you to insert tags where you click.
