I am using align to inport TMs into Trados. To create consistant terms I would like to be able to add terms to my termbase as I check each alignment. How can we make this possible? Why is this different from the normal translation process wherein I can save both TM and terms to my termbase?
In addition to the useful tips from Ana-Loredana Gabur it' worth noting that you cannot add terms to your termbase directly from the alignment editor. However, you can save the bilingual alignment file as an sdlxliff after aligning your files, then open the sdlxiff in the Studio editor, attach your termbase and add whatever terms you wanted from there.
But essentially I agree... it would be very useful to be able to attach a termbase to the alignment editor so you could correct the source, or target terminology using your termbase as you align the files. This way the final translation memory update would contain the correct use of terminology.
I think it's nice idea to add here:
