When you translate a segment, memoQ automatically gets matches from translation memories, term bases, and all other resources. In the Automatic lookup and insertion window, you can fine-tune this, or turn it off.

memoQ lists the matches it finds the Translation Results pane of the translation editor. You can insert them manually. Or, you can make memoQ insert the best match automatically.

How to get here
