It helps a lot to save time, as it is organized quite well. It is useful for translating websites or mobile phone apps and it offers quite some options of export.

It is far too easy to load up the termbase with duplicates now. Actually, a whole suite of maintenance functions for TMs and termbases are desperatly needed; the world can't rely forever on the free Okapi tools. I don't even think they are maintained any more.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-44147852623603919382012-01-12T17:19:19.674+00:002012-01-12T17:19:19.674+00:00I have been asking the guys/girls at memoQ to chan...I have been asking the guys/girls at memoQ to change the design of the memoQ concordance window for quite a while (in the memoQ list and via numerous Support feature requests), and they keep promising that they are going to change it and/or offer us an 'alternative table-like display', but so far it has remained exactly the same.<br /><br />See e.g.: <br /><br />- [Gabor:] 'Ultimately, memoQ's concordance window will have an alternative two-column layout, as you mention below. That will not happen in 4.5 though.'

The superior concordance function is really the only thing that I miss from my Trados Classic.

A little dropdown checkbox with all the active TMs and corpora, similar to the mechanism for termbase write selections, would be a great delight. The insertion functions are the most useful I have seen anywhere. But I do think that the visual representation of the info could be improved. Add highlighting instead of aligning the key word/phrase at the very least.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-19674351626028888082012-01-09T17:53:42.496+00:002012-01-09T17:53:42.496+00:00An interesting comparison, Kevin.

I'm mostly very happy with memoQ's concordance capability, though there is one enhancement I would dearly love: the ability to filter and/or order concordance hits by TM.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569133758797905525noreply@blogger.com
