Readability Aug 17, 2021

memoQ uses small fonts in many crucial parts of its GUI.

CafeTran Espresso allows the user to set the font and font size in nearly all parts of its GUI, allowing optimal adaption for translators with bad eyesight.

Also, nearly every part of the GUI (panes, etc.) can be made floatable and positioned on other screens, with different resolutions.

memoQ:

You can only detach the HTML live preview pane and position it freely (also on a secondary screen):


I just read here: https://groups.io/g/memoQ/topic/can_the_translation_results/86334577

that obviously (with some fiddling) it's possible to position some of memoQ's panes on a secondary monitor.

For those who don't have access to the memoQ forum, I'll insert a borrowed image from the thread mentioned above:

Dark mode Nov 4, 2021

Dark modes are quite popular nowadays (though still remain a matter of personal preference/taste).

CafeTran Espresso has a Dark mode.

memoQ doesn't have a Dark mode.

CafeTran Espresso 11 supports tracked changes in Studio projects Dec 3, 2021

CafeTran Espresso doesn't allow to track changes.

memoQ offers tracking of changes, both in native and third-party projects.



Great news: finally it's there. CafeTran Espresso 11 supports tracked changes in Studio projects.

  • Tracking Changes. This new feature is available via the Edit > Track Changes > Manage menu. See the Changes tab after activation. There, you can Accept and Reject changes to the current target segment.
  • Filtering on tracked changes via the Filter menu.
  • Accepting or rejecting all tracked changes in one task via the Task menu.

Why glossaries are better than termbases Aug 18, 2022

memoQ’s termbases are a complex, rigid and can cause problems with recognition, for an example of a user struggling with them see: https://www.proz.com/forum/memoq_support/358628-terms_not_showing.html

Glossaries are simple, can be switched to case-sensitive/case-tolerant with two clicks. They are tolerant for language variants (locales) (but you can create specific glossaries for US, UK, AU etc.).

And most of all: you can edit/bulk modify them in one go, with the Find dialogue box or in a text editor. In both cases you don’t have to interrupt your work on your current project.

Why make things complex unnecessarily?

In-grid QA report versus separate view for QA report Sep 3, 2022

memoQ (in this case version 2015!) uses a separate view for the QA report. You have to navigate through the segments in the lower part of the screen and ignore errors or correct them. Not very handy, if you ask me.

In CafeTran Espresso you work directly in the grid, as if you were translating. You can easily and directly modify the segments. You can see the whole segments directly. You can do Find and Replace actions to eliminate differences etc.
