*Note: If you have not received your API key, please reach out to your CSM or email ai\_support@apertera.com*

### **9. Link your Apertera Workspaces**

To allow the engine to continuously learn from your edited segments and use your specific Apertera configurations paste your Workspace ID into the Workspace ID field.

Note: The Workspace ID field is optional. If left blank, the MT results from Apertera will default to your General Workspace.

### **10. Configure tags and formatting**

Use the **Tags and formatting** dropdown to choose how memoQ handles the text:

- **Use plain text only:** Processes the text without retaining formatting or tags.
- **Use both formatting and tags:** Preserves the formatting and tags from your source document.

### **11. Go to Settings**

At the top of the Edit machine translation settings window, click the Settings tab.

### **12. Select Apertera for Pre-translation**

This enables the engine to automatically pre-translate all of your segments in one single batch.

![](https://images.tango.us/workflows/2193f190-291d-4c64-8bc8-1d825dabb66c/steps/0ff8fad0-949c-4f61-bdcd-abb18adde3cb/4ddfb557-f4f0-44d8-81ef-55b294c9f98c.png)

### **13. Configure Translation results**

Choose the option that best fits how you like to work.

For example, you can select **Off** if you only want to use batch pre-translation, or select one of the other options to receive live MT suggestions as you work segment-by-segment.

### **14. Configure Self-learning MT**

From the *Self-learning MT* dropdown, select **Apertera**.

Do this if the workspace you linked earlier is an Adaptive Workspace in Apertera, as it allows the engine to continuously learn from your confirmed edited segments.

### **20. Enable Machine Translation and verify services**

### **21. Review your translated segments**

Pre-translation will populate each blank segment directly in the editor. Additionally, if you enabled live Translation results, you will see suggestions from Apertera in the right-hand side menu.
