Export / Import Terms with IDs for interchange with another system

Jan Grüter

I want to export and import Terms (tbx) with their Term-IDs. Or over another way, that allows me to change the content outside of MultiTerm and import this modified file again. Is that possible?

    Hi , have you tried any way yet, and how complex is your termbase? It may be that your easiest way is to use the Glossary Converter and convert to Excel, make your edits and convert it back. With fairly straightforward termbases this is probably your best way, but if your termbase is much more complex then can you advise what software you wanted to use to edit it?

    Hello Paul, thanks for your promt reply.
    That is the problem. For small structures its ok so far: One term for each language in one termgroup. The termEntry-ID is given for each group an so MultiTerm can match the imported Terms to the existing ones.
    But when I have more than one term for one language in a group, it is not possible to identify each term. Then I need a ID attribute for each Term (e.g. <term id="ID-1058746">Barriera fotoelettrica</term>). Is it possible to configure MultiTerm to do that?
    I would like to exchange the term data bidirectionally with a authoring support system. There I can import and export TBX or Excel, if necessary also any other formats. But without an ID, I can only orientate myself by the order of the terms, and that's too uncertain.

    Regards, Jan

    Hi  no this isn't possible because you are describing the way MultiTerm handles synonyms.  If there is always a 1:2:1 relationship between your terms then you probably need to add them as new entries and not synonyms and this way you will always get an entry ID.
