In the following tutorial it will be explained how to add a concept to a existing local termbase using MultiTerm SDK.

Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop vs Sdl.MultiTerm.Client.Api

MultiTerm Client is a newer API which might contain some improvements, this dll is private.

Tthis means it cannot be used in a plugin. When a plugin which uses a nonpublic api is used in Studio a error message appears when Studio is loaded. This client is recomanded to be used for standalone applications.

"Sdl.MultiTerm.Client.Api" is not a full replacement for the "Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop"

Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop is a public api, and it can be used in a plugin.

How to load a local Termbase and get the Entries using Sdl.MultiTerm.TMO.Interop

First of all you need to add a reference to MultiTerm Interop library.

var multiTermApplication = new Application();
var localRep = multiTermApplication.LocalRepository;
localRep.Connect("", "");

var termbases = localRep.Termbases;
var path = termbasePath;
termbases.Add(path, "", "");
var termbase = termbases[path];
var entries = termbase.Entries;

How to add a new entry to a local Termbase

To add new entries to a termbase, you first need to 'construct' the entry XML content to store in the termbase. Below you see a simplified example of what a MultiTerm XML entry can look like:

<conceptGrp>
  <languageGrp>
  <language type="English" lang="EN"/>
  <termGrp>
  <term>Sdl Community Wiki</term>
  </termGrp>
  </languageGrp>
</conceptGrp>

entries.New(entryContent,true)
