Sources for CAT analyses

In Smart Projects you can get CAT analyses for files categorized as a ‘Source Document’ or a remote ‘Bilingual Document’. Technically, getting CAT analyses for files means getting the analyses for the corresponding remote Bilingual Documents created in the CAT tool. You cannot analyse files that have not been converted to remote Bilingual Documents in the CAT tool.

Tools for CAT analyses

The files are analyzed with remote Translation Memories (TMs) available in the CAT tool project. This means that the TMs have to be provided either directly in the CAT tool or in a memoQ Project Template. Otherwise, no TM is used for the analysis. Currently,

Translation Memories cannot be imported to the CAT tool through the integration.
