Hi guys,

I received a project from my client with a bunch of files with the extension ".xlf.mqxliff". I'm not able to import these files into my project. I've tried to import with different filters, eg. SDLXLIFF, XLIFF 1, Wordserver, etc. Nothing seems to work. Do you have any advise for me? Thanks in advance!

Maybe they are not memoQ files internally? Jun 14, 2024

Have you tried to simply remove the ".mqxliff" part from the name and let memoQ use a standard filter?

If you wish, I would be happy to look inside the files and see whether I can get what they are really (it would be basically opening them with Notepad++, for instance, and seeing that tags they have, whether a tool name is mentioned...). Just email me in private if I can be of any help.

That's grand to hear. Sometimes memoQ confuses the filters because of file extentions and "going back to the basics" tends to work. Good luck with the job!

No filter Jun 14, 2024

You don't need a filter for mqxliff, which is memoQ's own xliff format. Just use standard import.

The extension is .mqxliff, not .xlf.mqxliff. Only the part after the last full stop is the extension.
