Hello, I have a project of 18K words, comprised of 74 small sdlxliff files, I'm using Memoq 2015 (need to upgrade!) & I'm trying to find out if it's possible to merge sdlxliff files during import into MemoQ. For example, some of my clients use online Memsource and when downloading multiple sdlxliff files to work offline in MemoQ, I can "join"" the files, then they are "unjoined" at export. Even if I could merge the files into 3 or 4 single files this would be better than working on 74 individual... See more

Even if I could merge the files into 3 or 4 single files this would be better than working on 74 individual files. This is possible with Trados, see link, but not with MemoQ as far as I can see, I've searched thoroughly online & in Kilgray's website, to no avail. NB, this is for import, so they are merged when working in MemoQ, not for merging at export.

Thanks in advance!

No need to join them at import - Simply create a View Jan 13, 2020

You can easily work with all SDLXLIFF files as a lump (or in many other ways) by importing all files and then creating a View of the documents, or sets of documents to your pleasure! Check for how to create a view in memoQ in the online help.
