[quote]Right. So your downside should be very limited.[/quote]

You and Samuel seem to be in disagreement. Do you have any comments about the things he said?

[quote]The tools can't export partially. I mean, they can export a partial translation, but they can't export a partial file.[/quote]

I don't understand. If a file is only partial, it's a corrupted file and it's useless. So the exported file is always whole, data-wise. So, with that out of the way, what did you mean with "they can't export a partial file"? Say my file consists of 6 lines of text:

cat
dog
rabbit
wolf
manatee
mantis shrimp

I translate the first three on MemoQ before I decide that there's not enough time to finish it by the deadline next week because I'm still learning the program (yes, I'm a reeeeeaaallllyyy slow worker :P). If I export it to a docx file, will it be:

gato
cão
coelho
wolf
manatee
mantis shrimp

Or I just can't export it until I translate the last three, for some reason?
