Another well-done video with lots of useful information, Dominique! Thank you! I am going to try reproducing this for my language pair.
Fortunately, this may even be easier for Chinese because "ago" can stay where it is, although we tend to place the time element at the end of the sentence.
One follow up question: How do you set up this auto-translation rule so that this rule is selected for future projects by default? I still can't figure out how to create a project...

One follow up question: How do you set up this auto-translation rule so that this rule is selected for future projects by default? I still can't figure out how to create a project template in MemoQ that allows me to use the same settings (such as a customized rule like this one) without re-selecting them when creating a new project.
Thank you.

If the word order is the same in both languages, you could of course add the individual components, ie. numbers (two, three, four...), time units (days, weeks...) and "ago" and their equivalents in Chinese to a termbase and let fragment assembling do the job. This is auto-assemble used as a "poor man's MT" (translation word by word). But the memoQ auto-translation rules will also work.

Instead of going to auto-translation rules via Project Home > Settings inside a given project, go there via Tools > Options > Default resources. You should be able to enable your newly created rule set for Chinese:
If I understand correctly, this means all new projects with Chinese as target will inherit that rule set. If you are translating the other way round (Chinese into English), choose English instead.

Usually when people cat-hop, they tend to excel in one of them, but this doesn't seem to be your case:)
Although the order in Chinese for the time element is the same as in English, the auto-translation solution seems to be a bigger time saver, so I will definitely try this solution you came up with.
And thank you for the information on how to set my own rules as default for future files. I have been using MemoQ for over a year now and never realize I can change settin... See more Usually when people cat-hop, they tend to excel in one of them, but this doesn't seem to be your case:)
