Import TIPP package

The TIPP package format is part of the Interoperability Now! initiative. It aspires to make it easier to pass projects and assignment packages among different translation tools. TIPP also has the objective to make resources and other settings interoperable among tools.

memoQ is part of the Interoperability Now! initiative, and has full support for TIPP packages and XLIFF:doc documents.

Can't create TIPP package: currently, memoQ cannot generate a TIPP package. It can import TIPP packages and export response packages.

From a TIPP package, you can create a local project only.

How to get here

  1. Save the TIPP package file to your Documents folder. (Or, use any other folder that you can easily open.)
  2. On the Project ribbon, click Import package.
  3. An Open window appears. Find the folder where the package file is, and double-click the file. The Import TIPP package wizard starts.

    import-tipp-package

What can you do?

Import the TIPP package in a local project.

To create the project: On the second wizard page, click Finish.

When you finish

To import the package, and open the project in Project home or in memoQ online project: On the last page of the wizard, click Finish.

To return to the Dashboard, and not import the package: On any of the pages, click Cancel.

After the translation is finished: Export response package

When the translation is finished, you need to export a return package.

  1. Open the project that you imported from the TIPP package.
  2. In Project home, choose Translations.
  3. Select any of the documents.
  4. On the Documents ribbon, click Export. Or, click the down arrow below the Export icon. From the menu, choose Export (Stored path). memoQ exports the TIPP response package.

    To export individual XLIFF:doc files: Select the documents you want to export. On the Documents ribbon, click the down arrow below the Export icon. From the menu, choose Export (Choose Path).

  5. Choose a folder and a name for the return package.

To send the package: Open the folder where you saved the delivery package. Attach the package file to an e-mail, and send it to your client or your project manager.

XLIFF:doc import settings

XLIFF:doc is the XLIFF flavor used in TIPP packages.

When you import a TIPP package, the translatable files are in XLIFF:doc format. When the XLIFF:doc file contains an HTML preview, then you have a translation preview in memoQ.

Note: memoQ does not support the splitting and joining of segments in XLIFF:doc files.

Note: When a XLIFF:doc file contains several files, then they are imported as individual documents. These individual translation documents in memoQ are exported back into one single XLIFF:doc file.
