| The said plugin requires API | Nov 17, 2015 |
It is free for downloading but not free for using.
Even if you buy API for that app, you may be banned from using TM by managers.
This makes the plugin useless.
But the most important Openexchange notice:
Please note: This plugin will only work with SDL Trados Studio 2011 or 2014 Freelance editions.

This goes beyond a request for having this or that feature added, but instead requires a mindset that adds productivity-enhancing features even without specific requests. Innovation, you know.
Your comment above also nails my pivotal gripe about this product. If you tell them to fix some feature, they may do that, but they will continue to fail everywhere else, because they don't understand the larger picture and the overall goal.

As I said before, your client needs to make the TMs available... but I think Ari can have that... the problem is actually opening the mxliff files in Studio...

The client actually has provided me with instructions for opening the mxliff files in Studio, but have no intention of paying for any edition, version, API or what-have-you of Memsource at its current state.

Yes, I missed that. Exactly.
I did not try memsource files with SDL, but it works with memoQ fine.
When importing a memsource file, you need to select xliff filter.

I'd like to know how! I must be doing something wrong...

but they don't seem to understand the translators' needs... having said that, as a cloud tool is not too bad. I've seen a lot worse. They just need to take the desktop editor to the next level, on par with Studio and MemoQ, for example.
The reason why many agencies are jumping ship is because of the price...

Couldn't agree more!

... *.mxliff to the filetype recogniser in the XLIFF options and then you will be able to use the XLIFF filter for these files. It's not customised to map perfectly out of the box with memsource extensions and statuese but I think it's workable.

| MemoQ vs. Memsource?? | Dec 4, 2015 |
I'm sorry I'm posting this late comment. As a MemoQ user, having tested several other tools, including Memsource, I'd like to leave my 5 cents here.
As a colleague said very well in the first page, you are trying to compare a horse (Memsource) with a Ferrari (MemoQ). Well, I wouldn't say with a Ferrari, for MemoQ is not perfect and has its many bugs too, but certainly with a BMW.
Let's say if you switch from MemoQ to Memsource, you will run back to MemoQ in a few days. ... See more I'm sorry I'm posting this late comment. As a MemoQ user, having tested several other tools, including Memsource, I'd like to leave my 5 cents here.

Let's say if you switch from MemoQ to Memsource, you will run back to MemoQ in a few days. Buy if you switch from Memsource to MemoQ (which I did), you will likely never see a Memsource screen in front of you ever again.
I currently refuse all jobs offered to me if they say "Memsource" anywhere in the announcement. I may change my mind in the future, of course, if they introduce a fully new version that at least works like a regular CAT.
Again, this is just a very personal opinion, just to add to your "statistics".

Here is another metaphor: A customer orders a kitchen table from a carpenter and even offers a tool for the job - a Swiss Army knife. It might get the job done, but it will take forever and a day, and thus will not be profitable. Not in the short run and not in the long run.
A clever carpenter who knows how to earn a living in his/her trade will certainly have a full-fledged carpenter shop with all of the standard woodworking equipment: table saws, radial arm saws, a band saw scroll saw, a planer, a doweling machine, a shaper, a belt-sander, a wood press, etc. Yes, it will cost more, but will also pay itself back many times along the way.

I hate every moment of my life when I have a memoQ screen in front of me. On the other hand, I've been quite comfortable working in Memsource (desktop editor).

Interesting... Your opinion is somewhat uncommon, would you care to describe your experiences in more detail?
