Babelpad excels at Unicode, but it isn't a very powerful text editor otherwise. Compare Babelpad to Notepad++ by pasting [👓] into it. The character [👓] (codepoint U+1F453) has been part of Unicode since 2010 already, and Notepad++ still can't display it, but Babelpad can.

What is the source of your terminology? MemoQ does accept comma- or tab-delimited text files in virtually any encoding, the default being UTF-8. Thus, any of the suggested text editors would be fine, as well as a bunch of other text editors. However, you may find it more convenient to use a spreadsheet editor such as OpenOffice Calc or Microsoft Excel.

MemoQ does accept comma- or tab-delimited text files in virtually any encoding, the default being UTF-8. Thus, any of the suggested text editors would be fine, as well as a bunch of other text editors. However, you may find it more convenient to use a spreadsheet editor such as OpenOffice Calc or Microsoft Excel. Here is my StarBasic macro that exports a Calc spreadsheet to a glossary (I created it for OmegaT, but memoQ should be happy with the resulting file too): Code:
| Sub ExportToGlossary
Dim oDoc as Object
Dim glossaryFileProperties(3) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
Dim sURL as String
Dim iLen as Integer
Dim isSpreadSheet as Boolean
oDoc = ThisComponent
If oDoc.getLocation() = "" Then Exit Sub
isSpreadSheet = oDoc.supportsService("com.sun.star.sheet.SpreadsheetDocument")
If isSpreadSheet Then
sURL = oDoc.getLocation()
iLen = len(sURL)
If lcase(right(sURL,4))=".ods" Then
sURL = left(sURL, iLen - 4)
Else
If lcase(right(sURL,4))=".xls" Then
sURL = left(sURL, iLen - 4)
Else
If lcase(right(sURL,5))=".xlsx" Then
sURL = left(sURL, iLen - 5)
End If
End If
End If
sURL = sURL + ".txt"
glossaryFileProperties(0).Name = "FilterName" ' setting properties of exported file such as tab as field delimiter, nothing as text delimiter, UTF-8 as encoding
glossaryFileProperties(0).Value = "Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)"
glossaryFileProperties(1).Name = "FilterOptions"
glossaryFileProperties(1).Value = "9,0,76,1,,0,false,true,false"
glossaryFileProperties(2).Name = "Overwrite"
glossaryFileProperties(2).Value = True
oDoc.storeToURL(sURL, glossaryFileProperties())
End If
End Sub |

I need that memoQ treat the file as Unicode so the accented vowels of the Spanish language can be rendered properly in memoQ. Oh, okay. Well, Akelpad would work (Notepad++ probably as well). It's important that you save the text file as either "UTF-16 LE" (not BE) or "UTF-8 with BOM" (byte order mark), otherwise MemoQ might think your file is ANSI or similar. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » text editor with Unicode support : looking for recommendations Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
