Hello, I have recently bought memoQ and am having real trouble getting started.

I have set up a project containing one file and need to import a TM (an SDLTM file as I normally work with Trados Studio). I have tried to follow the advice online (click on project home, Translation memory) but I am finding that all the options (import TM for instance) are greyed out. So I am not sure how to import a TM. Could someone please help? Thanks!

Create a new one first Nov 24, 2022

You can only import a TB or TM into an existing TB or TM, respectively, so you need to create a new one first.

Thanks Nov 24, 2022

OK, I had no idea about that. So I can create a new TM and then import my TM into it. Thanks
