Installation

Requirements

• memoQ 12 (translator pro or project manager)
• An API key for Anthropic, OpenAI or Google
• Administrator rights on the machine, once, to place the files

Installing

Supervertaler for memoQ ships as two files:

Supervertaler.MemoQ.dll         the AI translation engine
Supervertaler.MemoQ.Terms.dll   the terminology provider

Both belong in memoQ’s Addins folder, inside the memoQ program directory – typically:

C:\Program Files\memoQ\memoQ-12\Addins\

Copy both files there and restart memoQ.

Why two files

memoQ loads exactly one add-in per DLL, so the translation engine and the terminology provider cannot share one. They are halves of the same product and are designed to be installed together – but the terminology half is optional if you only want AI translation.

The unsigned plugin warning

The first time memoQ starts after installation it will say it has detected one or more unsigned plugins, and ask whether to load them.

Answer Yes. The default button is No, so a stray Enter keypress will decline it.

Supervertaler is not yet signed by memoQ. Signing is a review process memoQ runs for plugins with proven demand; until then, this prompt appears whenever the files change.

Where the program directory is version-stamped

memoQ’s install folder carries its version number (memoQ-12, memoQ-13, …). A memoQ major upgrade creates a new folder, and the add-ins are not carried across – they will need to be copied again.

If Supervertaler disappears after a memoQ update, this is almost always why.

Uninstalling

Close memoQ, delete the two DLLs from the Addins folder, and restart.

To remove what Supervertaler has stored on your computer as well, use Forget stored context in the plugin’s options dialog before uninstalling – see Self-learning translation.
