Separate CAT grid for Memsource

Memsource users can now precisely calculate how much money can be saved on a Project with machine translations, translation memories, non-translatables and repetitions.

A dedicated CAT grid includes all Memsource-specific match types.

In addition to existing analysis formats (.CSV, .CSV with chars, .LOG), we have added .JSON support, which is, by far, the most detailed when it comes to output data. If you want to use it as a default format in the integration:

1. Go to the Configuration Menu > Integrations > CAT Tools.
2. Edit ‘Memsource’.
3. Scroll down to Analysis Settings and from the Analysis Format drop-down menu select JSON.

The new Memsource CAT grid can be found in all necessary areas, from Client & Vendor settings, through CAT Payables & Receivables of a Project, to the ‘Reports’ module.

2. Feature enhancements

New XTM CAT grid features

To keep up with XTM standards, an .XLSX format support has been added to the XTM CAT grid. It now works with .XLSX, .XLS and .CSV files.

On top of that, a new Match Type ‘Machine translation’ has been introduced, to help calculate the savings from machine-translated files as well.

Many-to-one Client mapping from XTRF to memoQ

XTRF integration with memoQ now allows for mapping multiple XTRF Client profiles to a single Client profile in memoQ.

Up to this point, Client profiles in XTRF and memoQ were matched by the “username in external system”, and the integration would block mapping another Client profile in XTRF with the same username in memoQ. Now this limitation has been lifted.

The update is designed to make managing resources in memoQ projects more convenient. Especially if the same resources are, for example, shared between multiple people within the same office.

Note

This improvement works with both Classic and Smart Projects, but only for memoQ integration. In integrations with other CAT Tools, the usernames in external systems must still be unique.

This improvement works only for Clients. Vendors still need to be mapped with unique usernames in external systems.

When using many-to-one mapping for Clients, make sure your resources selection rules are adjusted accordingly: both in the integration with Classic Projects as well as in memoQ project templates.

Separate endpoints in Client Portal API for adding Projects and Quotes

We have introduced new endpoints in Client Portal API:

POST /v2/projects

POST /v2/quotes

They allow adding new Projects and Quotes (Smart or Classic, depending on the selected Service). The main difference compared to the currently available method is that by using the POST /v2/projects endpoint users can directly create a new Classic Project in the Home Portal with no Quote associated with it (currently XTRF creates a Quote, and the Manager has to manually click through it to convert it into a Project). In addition, the request body has been simplified and the parameters like Service, Specialization or Price Profile, are now defined by their ID, not the name.

The Manager and Client will receive a notification about a newly created Project or Quote, if the notifications are enabled.

Note

The new endpoints currently work only as an alternative for external operations performed through Client Portal API. The Client Portal itself still uses the legacy endpoint POST /quotes, so the behavior of buttons REQUEST A QUOTE and LAUNCH A PROJECT doesn’t change yet. However, the new endpoints will be integrated into the interface of the new Client Portal that’s coming later this year.

Separate processing of untrusted user input

Analyzing uploaded files is now processed with a separate service.

This technical improvement will result in better stability and fewer system crashes, as analyzing input files will be performed in a separate process with its own resources.

3. Deprecated features

NBP exchange rates

The NBP (National Bank of Poland) and European Central Bank currency exchange rates synchronization has been deprecated and will be discontinued by the end of September 2022.

For new Clients, the default source for rate synchronization has been set to Open Exchange Rates. The remaining few Clients are requested to change NBP and ECB to Open Exchange Rates.

POST /quotes API endpoint

Client Portal API endpoint POST /quotes has been deprecated due to the introduction of separate API endpoints for adding Projects and Quotes (see the section ‘Separate endpoints in Client Portal API’ for more information). The deprecated endpoint will be removed in the future, but no sooner than one year after releasing the new Client Portal.
