A recording is now available for yesterday's lecture introducing the #Regex Assistant library in #memoQ for organizing and using regular expressions to solve problems in language service work such as #translation or text review. This is the first of three lectures in the series.

4_1-1/N memoQ Regex Assistant subthread. The screenshot here shows the #memoQ #Regex Assistant dialog with an expression for finding segments which don't begin with a capital letter selected from the library and some sample text. This subthread will explain where and how you can access this cross-module library and its many features for organizing and exchanging helpful regular expressions.

1/N - This is the starting post for my experimental threaded course on the use of regular expressions (#regex) for solving problems in #translation and #localization projects. It’s a testing ground of sorts for a talk I’ll be giving for the BP Winter Translation Forum next month and some courses that will probably take place in Lisbon early next year. The content will be dripped out in the weeks ahead, and I may branch it or extend it at any time.

The primary tool discussed will be #memoQ TMS, which uses regex in colorful ways in many features or modules. Much of the material discussed, however, can be applied to other translation support environments and tools. Contributions and questions in comments are always welcome.

I believe that the usual approach to teaching the use of regex for translation and localization projects is sadly mistaken. Unlike most presenters of this subject matter, it is NOT my intention to teach anyone nerdy syntax, though I will show examples containing such. Regex can be a difficult subject even for seasoned programmers, and it is simply idiotic to expect the intelligent masses in the translation sector to master it in any useful way in reasonable time.

My main objectives will be to help people develop an awareness of problems to which regex might be usefully applied, and to offer guidance on how to plan or request solutions and provide suitable data for testing these solutions. As part of this, I will be sharing some favorite resources which you can use to identify specific solutions and go into as much depth as you like.
