memoQ 10.1 introduced a new feature that grades machine translation results and delivers a percentage to offer users an estimation on how good the match is supposed to be. Combined with the ability to enable several MT engines simultaneously, this can be a very powerful functionality for both LSPs and enterprises.
Estimate percentages are displayed in two ways:
TAUS, a language data expert for AI, ML & MT applications, provided a generic model that works as an out-of-the-box solution and offers customization through its custom model. Moreover, ModelFront, a provider of AI-driven machine translation quality prediction API, also supplied its custom model to make AIQE available in memoQ.

Did you know that there’s a simple tweak that might improve your memoQ TMS’s performance?
If you’re running several projects at the same time and executing CPU-heavy operations like Pre-translation and Statistics, you may want to give this a try. Open the memoQ TMS deployment tool, click on Advanced... > Configure server, and change the number of background threads in the Address tab. We recommend setting it to 7, but we encourage you to experiment with different settings.
Please note that this feature is only available from memoQ 9.13 and it only works in private TMS. If your TMS is hosted by memoQ, you should reach out to our Support team to apply this tweak. If your server machine is used for other applications as well, this may affect their performance.
Heads up! Our latest LTS version has been released: memoQ 10.2.11.
This new version features customizable charts in Business Analytics, moderated term bases in Qterm, a brand new memoQ translator pro subscription, and other enhancements. For more information, visit this page, and to download, click here. Any questions? Reach out to us at support@memoq.com.
