memoQ can export terminology into two kinds of files:

Text files that contain a table: Each row is an entry from the term base, and each column is a term or a descriptive field from the entry These are called tab-separated or comma-separated (CSV) files.

MultiTerm XML files: XML files that can be imported into SDL Trados Multiterm.
