As a follow-up to the recent QA webinar, I’ve scheduled open office hours for the next four Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. CET to discuss anything regarding QA for local and online memoQ TMS projects. These sessions are free, but registration is required once to attend any or all of the sessions. I tried to do this without registration, but without it Zoom just tries to start the session for anyone using the link. Bah humbug.

These sessions may include brief QA- or memoQ regex-related presentations at the start, but certainly not for a large block of the allocated time, which is intended for you to share the challenges in your own project work and find out if there are existing solutions or what steps can be taken to get the job done.
Relevant parts of the chats may be used in planning and writing the help guide for memoQ applications of regular expressions and the use of these regexes in other environments, which I mentioned in the recent webinar. I hope to complete the first version of that guide before the end of this year or early in 2025. Paid subscribers to this Substack receive a free copy upon publication and perhaps some previews if I consider them presentable. I intend much of that published content to be usable in Trados Studio, Wordfast and possibly other environments as well, and testing and guidance in that regard is part of my plan.
I can’t promise immediate solutions to every matter raised by participants, but I’ll make a record of everything and address it in follow-up posts, Notes, and the published guide as appropriate.
Punctuality doesn’t matter with these sessions, though the first 20 minutes or so might be of particular interest to some who would like to revisit some of the topics from the recent webinar or related ones. I’m in the office most Thursday mornings for several hours to work on writing projects and video, and I often keep a Zoom chat open in the background on those occasions for some people who may need spontaneous help, and that’s what I’ll be doing in this case as well.
