OPUS-CAT partially bundled in memoQ

[SafeTex]

Hello Tommi and all

I've just received an email from the memoQ ideas portal that memoQ has partially delivered bundling of the OPUS Cat tool

"Delivery" often means that it will appear in a future version yet to come out. I'm not sure either what "partial" means here, but I hope it's a step in the right direction at least.

Can we liaise to look at this in a few weeks time to see what we have in memoQ. Maybe other memoQ users on this forum wish to help? (test, assess etc.)

Just for your info and thanks for making this possible from your end

Hello Tommi and all

memoQ have come back to us to say that "partial delivery" was the wrong choice and it should have been "reasonable workaround exists"
They seem to be saying now that OPUS and the memoQ plug-in does exist and that's enough for the time being
In other words, they are not going to bundle OPUS with memoQ as they do for so many other MT engines.
What a bail-out. I'm sorry if I got your hopes up
Just for your info

That's interesting ,thanks. A couple of years ago I had some email exchanges with memoQ about including the plugin, but they are pretty careful about which plugins to bundle. I can understand that, since a project like OPUS-CAT can't provide a level of support comparable to companies with paid support staff, and by bundling the plugin memoQ would also assume some responsibility that it works reliably in newer versions etc. At the moment the OPUS-CAT memoQ plugin could use some work, starting with a rebrand to OPUS-CAT, but I don't have any time in the schedule for that.
