Add terms to specific termbases (with keyboard shortcuts) in Trados Studio

I think it's high time it was made possible to add terms to specific termbases (with keyboard shortcuts), on the fly.

Many other CAT tools currently support this, and I would love to see this functionality added to the latest version of Trados Studio, which is currently my favourite CAT tool.

I am currently using Nora Díaz's great little AutoHotkey script (see: http://noradiaz.blogspot.com/2016/11/adding-terms-to-secondary-termbase.html) to add terms to a secondary termbase, but since it's based on AHK, it isn't perfect.

Using the Trados/MultiTerm API is beyond my capabilities, but the developers at RWS ought to be able to handle this.

In any case, being able to quickly send terms to a project termbase & background termbase (with keyboard shortcuts) is a very useful feature in a CAT tool, and is sorely needed IYAM.

  • I strongly support this idea! It would be nice to add a toggle to select which termbase(s) is/are used for adding terms.
    If (for whatever reason) there are multiple termbases, it would also be nice to show the corresponding termbase name
    in the terminology viewer. Currently, users can only see the entry ID when adding a term.
