Congratulations to Madeleine- the real beauty of the Mac is not the physical machine, but the operating system. Over time you'll get to know it. If you have any problems, head on over to the Apple discussions forums here: https://discussions.apple.com/welcome

BTW you've just got yourself a free dictation/voice command programme that's as good (some say better) than the commercial products like Dragon. I use it all the time. Open System Preferences and click on "Dictation & Speech".

It’s not entirely up to Kilgray to bring memoQ to macOS. memoQ is a .NET application, which means that until recently there was no way of porting it to macOS without significant compromises.

But now, the ‘new Microsoft’ has made great steps towards allowing developers to code once and deploy on Windows, macOS and Linux. They have even made Visual Studio available on macOS. Therefore, now would be a good time for Kilgray to start testing memoQ on macOS or even on Linux. But when this effort might come to fruition is a totally different question.

We’ll have to wait and see.

I hope you will love your new MacBook. 😍 I solely use macOS and iOS devices for the past decade and use Memsource since it has been released.

Revealing a "secret" Jan 26, 2017

Come on guys, Madeleine had made the leap from Windows to Mac (if yes) almost 7.5 years ago. I know Mac-lovers are big enthusiasts, but read the topic date first

Good luck

I noticed the date after my contribution, 😂 thought I leave it either way.

Standing slightly embarrassed in the corner. 😳

memoQ .NET on Mac? Mar 1, 2017

memoQ 8 Adriatic uses the .NET framework. Will it be available for Mac too?

https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macos

Has this been discusses somewhere?

It always has Mar 1, 2017

memoQ has always used the .NET framework, since version 1.

Your link points to .NET Core, which is different. It's too soon for a full-fledged application like memoQ to migrate to .NET Core from the full .NET framework. But it could be done at some point in the future, I think.

MemoQ on Mac Jul 13, 2020

Sorry to boost such an old post, but now SDL is bringing Trados Studio to the web in their 2021 version, is there any news of MemoQ offering a similar solution to Mac users?

Latest news from MemoQ are negative Jul 13, 2020

I've asked a couple months ago before buying the new version 9.2 and they confirmed at the moment they have no plans for a Mac-based version.

I've seen SDL has scheduled a web-based version (2021) but it is not really installed in the Mac system, it will be used online with a browser. This means all your data, such as TM and TB will be on the SDL servers. I understand it's a step forward but this is not the solution.

I sincerely don't understand why there isn't an SDL or MemoQ version for Mac. In the past there were less Mac users, but now there are much more users among translators.

I'm waiting for a Mac version since many years.

Let's wait....

MemoQ offers the web tool memoQWebTrans, but it isn't a complete version.

MemoQWebTrans has very limited features Jul 13, 2020

And it cannot be used by a freelancer with personal TMs and TBs.

Apparently it can be used by agencies and similar. Or not?

One of the agencies I work for makes it available to their translators, but as I have my own licence and use Windows, I have never used the web version.

I guess the same goes for 'and similar'.

In any case, there isn't a full native version for Mac. If I had a Mac, I would use VMware or Parallels with Windows for the many applications that don't run on macOS. But then I could just as well use native Windows without macOS. So I don't have a Mac.
