Hi,

I have been noticing when performing reviews (opening already translated .sdlx files) that MemoQ apparently does not tell me if MT/AT was used on a segment, in the right column (considering standard display configurations).

MemoQ Segments

It does tell me about TM matches, but my overall impression is that Trados is way better at showing me the "history" of a segment's translation in the central column:

Trados Segments

Is there a way to configure MemoQ to do the same? Since apparently this information stays "hidden" in the .sdlx file's metadata anyways?


Note: I am well aware of an old and lasting forum topic discussing whether CAT Tools should show or hide the fact that a translator has used MT, it is not my intent to delve into that discussion here. I just want to be able to see the same degree of information that Trados shows me, on MemoQ.

Not all file formats support info on MT Feb 15, 2021

From my experience, not all bilingual file formats are capable of containing information on MT origin of segments. Although I do not know first-hand, it is very possible that SDLX files are not capable of containing this information. If this is the case, I do not think MemoQ can preserve or store that information.
