When it comes to computer-aided translation (CAT) tools, it is believed that most language learners or workers can blurt out the SDL Trados Studio - the most widely used CAT software in the world, holding the largest market share worldwide. However, in the CAT industry with blooming flowers, memoQ, Wordfast, OmegaT, Déjà vu and other few tools also have a relatively high degree of popularity.

memoQ is a computer-assisted translation software suite developed by Kilgray (its name comes from an abbreviation of the names of this company's three founders BalázsKis, István Lengyel and Gábor Ugray) Translation Technologies from Hungary. It can bring great convenience to translators in four necessary links of the translation engineering: translation output, information search, terminology management and quality control, so as to effectively improve the productivity and translation quality of translators, language service providers and enterprises.

As an advanced custom translation system, memoQ integrates the translation editing, translation memory library, terminology library and other features into one system, provides functions such as long string relatedness search, and is compatible with translation files generated by SDL Trados Studio, STAR Transit, as well as the file formats like XLIFF. Compared with other CAT software, memoQ comes with many notable features, including: LiveDocs, View, X-Translate, Muses, Web Search, Backup, Version History, Snapshot, Monolingual Review, LQA, Language Terminal, Web Trans, etc. Skilled application to these features can effectively ensure the smooth completion of any translation project.

In general, memoQ is a practical yet low-pitched computer-aided translation tool. It does not have the intricacy and magnificence as SDL Trados Studio, but each of its functions seems to be retained after carefully filtering. And, it has a clear and friendly user interface, better user experience, integration of more machine translation engines, as well as the access to a large number of external translation memory bases, terminology banks. In short, memoQ would be a great choice if you are looking for a CAT tool that is easy to use but has a lot of functionality.
