Improved Web-Based Localization: Updates for Project Managers and Linguists
At memoQ, we have been steadily investing in web technologies to give localization teams more flexibility, control, and productivity directly from the browser. While our web technologies serve different roles, they share the same goal: to make web-based work more efficient, secure, and user-friendly across the localization workflow.
Getting More Done with memoQ editor
memoQ editor was introduced in version 11.4 for linguists working with organization-issued licenses. It provides a clean, fast, and productive workspace fully accessible from the web. It was designed to support linguists who have to work in a browser-based environment while still having access to powerful features at their fingertips.
Since its first release, memoQ editor has introduced important tools such as Focus on Row, pop-in and pop-out windows, and dark mode to reduce eye strain and improve usability. The 11.5 release adds even more productivity boosters like auto-propagation and Concordance search. These features bring the editor closer to the functionalities users expect while maintaining the flexibility to work anywhere on any device.
As we continue to develop memoQ editor, your input remains essential. Switching between memoQ editor and webtrans is quick and effortless, so there's no need to fully commit right away. Linguists can gradually adopt the new interface at their own pace, using webtrans for familiar tasks and memoQ editor for a smoother, more modern experience. While doing so, you can share feedback that helps us shape future updates and prioritize the features that matter most to our customers. Giving feedback while switching between the two apps requires that your system administrator turn on anonymous data sharing by following the privacy settings instructions in memoQ’s documentation.
Stronger Security and Efficiency for Project Managers
Project managers benefit from the continuous improvements in memoQweb, especially when it comes to keeping project data secure. One of the latest updates allows PMs to turn off bilingual export in local copies. Soon, it will also be possible to prevent linguists from downloading project files to their computers. These options help reduce the risk of data leaving the organization unintentionally.
memoQweb also supports project managers in their daily work. Translations within projects can now be filtered more easily, exporting options have been updated, and confirming or updating files has become more flexible.
Additional tools further strengthen oversight and transparency. LiveDocs is accessible from the browser, licenses can be managed through the web interface, and the audit log helps monitor important activity, such as checking whether resources were accidentally deleted.
Reporting is also gaining new capabilities. The number of available reports will increase from two to eight, matching what is already available. In addition, new filtering and sorting options are being introduced, along with a scope view feature as well.
Why the Web Matters for Your Workflow
Many companies have taken a measured approach to adopting web-based tools. However, web technologies have evolved to offer a full range of features that support efficient, secure, and flexible localization workflows, all within the browser.
This web evolution reduces the administrative burden on IT teams and helps users get started faster with fewer technical barriers while enjoying exclusive new features. Meanwhile, project managers gain improved oversight and security.
We continue to listen closely to customer feedback and prioritize features that improve productivity and project security.

What’s Next?
One important upcoming update for memoQweb is the expansion of reporting. The additional report types currently exist on the desktop version, but our goal is to bring these reports to the web, increasing the number from two to eight. Along with this, users will see improvements in how reports are handled and a new side navigation designed to make the interface easier to navigate.
