Compatibility Multiterm 2017 with Multiterm 2015

Question

We recently discovered that termbases created with Multiterm 2015 couldn't be opened with Multiterm 2017. This had as consequence that terms in a project were not recognised. Is there a solution so that term recognition would be assured not only in the project created by the PM but also on the translator's computer, whatever Studio version (s)he uses (starting from 2011)

Hi Beate, 
 
I wasn't aware of this problem. Can you elaborate on what happens when you try to do this? 
 
The way around these sort of problems might be to send the XDT and the Multiterm XML so the translator can recreate the termbase in their own version. But I have never come across this problem before and my own termbases always work from one version to the next without any issues. 
 
Regards

Hi Maren Ziani , Katherine Hornsby , 
 
Can you try this: 
 
1. Open your termbases in MultiTerm 2017 
2. Reorganise them in Termbase Management 
 
Also please make sure you have updated both Studio and MultiTerm to the latest versions: 
 
SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 - 14.1.6329.7 
SDL MultiTerm 2017 SR1 - 14.1.2460.4 
 
See if this helps?
