Hi all,
I've just had an enquiry from a client asking whether I can handle inx files. The end customer would be sending inx files and would require inx files sent back.
I've been searching fruitlessly for some in-depth info on how MemoQ handles inx files. All I found in the help was "memoQ currently fully supports INX files created in versions CS2, CS3, and CS4 of InDesign®." However I have a feeling that I won't be able to export back to inx. Is this correct? Does any special segmentation have to be done to the files before I can use them?
Thanks for your help!

MemoQ handles .inx files fine, and the finished translation is exported as .inx.
However, I always do a test for customers, so that they can verify that the files exported by MemoQ are OK for them.

I regularly handle INX files with memoQ, and more recently also IDML files (the files from InDesign 5), with no problem or difficulty at all. Just make sure all tags are there as you translate!

Wow! Thanks Tomás! That is great to hear! No idea why I thought it wouldn't work - I must have got inx confused with some other file format!

Just feel free to get in touch in case you have any queries about how to handle the format. Although it is tremendously simple: wherever there are tags, it's best to copy the source to the target and translate the text around the tags. memoQ will show a warning (the lightning icon) if you are missing any tags.

It seems to be as easy as translating a word file!

Thank you as well, I only just saw your post - there seems to have been a delay! I suggested that to the client - seems to be a doubly good idea seeming as I've never worked with inx files in memoQ before!
