Syncing (offline) MemoQ projects Thread poster: Pavel Sirotkin
|
Hi, I use MemoQ (2015) on my desktop and laptop computer (both under Windows); sometimes, I want to just take the work I've been doing on one computer and pick it up at the other. I have a synchronization set up between the computers; that is, I can sync any files almost in real time. Syncing the "My MemoQ projects" folder makes the projects available on both computers, but the TM and dictionaries are not synced. Can I do something to fix that as well? Thanks, ...

Install Dropbox on both computers. Create a folder named "memoQ TMs" and a folder named "memoQ Term bases" inside Dropbox folder on both computers. Make sure you use the same version of the memoQ program on both machines. Run memoQ on one of the computers, open "memoQ Options" and then "Locations". Specify the path on Resources tab for Translation memories and Term bases. Do the same for the second computer. The paths on the both computers must point at the same folders...

You can do the above procedure for other folders, such as memoQ Projects, LiveDocs corpora, Muses and Light resources. Now you're all set for synchronization. You can start working on one PC with Dropbox on and synchronizing constantly, then turn on the other PC, launch Dropbox, wait for the Dropbox synchronization to complete, open the memoQ project and all your translated segments will be there. As you understand, it's very important to have Dropbox always running and synchronizing data with the server. ▲ Collapse | | | John Fossey Canada Local time: 19:57 Member (2008) French to English + ...

As you understand, it's very important to have Dropbox always running and synchronizing data with the server. This is exactly the procedure I have been using for many years. The only thing is I found the path to the folders must be fully identical, including the drive letter (C: drive) or it can get confused. | | | Pavel Sirotkin Germany Local time: 01:57 Russian to German + ...

I do not use Dropbox (I find it unnecessarily complicated to move my content in order to sync it), but I've synced the relevant folders using Spideroak and now everything works fine. So, thanks to you two! | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Syncing (offline) MemoQ projects Wordfast Pro | Translation Memory Software for Any Platform
