Might be slow to start: At first, the globalese by memoQ translation service needs to initialize the MT engine, and might return translations with some delay. When you start pre-translating or working on a document, the engine catches up to its normal speed.

Engine language over project language: If you have an MT settings resource where a globalese by memoQ engine is configured to translate to French, and you add it to a project where the target language is German, the plugin will translate to French. To help avoid this, write the language pair and domain into the MT settings resource's name – for example, "globalese EN-FR medical".
