I have a fairly large XML document with 4000 segments.
My customer has requested that certain XML tags should have a specific translation for a specific term, whereas other XML tags should have a different translation for the same term.

Is there some way to search for XML tags so I can check that I have made the requested changes?

2. The exported bilingual 2-column RTF contains only tag references, such as {1}. Is there some way that I can show the full tags?
3. Because memoQ hangs when I try to export the target document, I cannot check that. ▲ Collapse

When in the Bilingual Export Wizard in my MemoQ 2013 after clicking the link Export bilingual and choosing 2 column rtf, I can select the checkbox "Export the full text of inline tags" that presumably does what you require, although I have never tried.

Regarding 1. and 3., exploring "Import with options" and/or Format>Edit inline tags may help.
And sometimes the Help feature also helps.

Export bilingual with full tags Sep 27, 2018

Thanks Philippe
this is just what I wanted. Unfortunately my memoQ 7.8.175 always resets my activated "Export the full text..." to the standard internal format.

Target export Oct 3, 2018

After further investigation, I found that the system "hangs" after completing the XML export. As such, I could check the tags in the XML file. A better solution would be for the Preview "editor" to support the Find operation that would allow me to search for the XML tags.
