memoQ's LiveDocs technology allows you to reuse existing translations without going through a translation memory. You can also use it to add background material to the project. In the LiveDocs pane of Project home, you can manage LiveDocs corpora and the documents inside them.

LiveDocs corpora work with all languages: An empty LiveDocs corpora has no languages. You can add documents and document pairs of any language. A LiveDocs corpus offers matches in all the languages of the documents in it.

Use local and online LiveDocs corpora: In Project home, you can use LiveDocs corpora from your own computer, as well as LiveDocs corpora from memoQ servers that you have access to.

How to get here
