Hi, I'm having issues with MultiTerm.
I created some TB and added terms while translating in Studio 2017; however, they do not appear when I open MultiTerm. I can open them manually, though. I wonder if the settings are wrong?
Also, when I try to edit a term, it freezes and deletes the entry.
Finally, it seems I can't add terms from one TB to another.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me with this.
Thanks.
It does not matter where a TB is stored. You will always have to navigate to it manually if it's not already listed in either a job/project in Studio because you have added it there or in the TB list in MultiTerm because you have not opened it recently in MultiTerm. That's normal as it is with any other software.
I didn't notice that in your original post you expected a termbase you'd added in Studio to appear when you open MultiTerm.
My suggested answer would not solve that. As you've seen there is a default file structure in a folder called 'Studio' and in one called 'MultiTerm' but they do not update to each other. They are simply folders like any others on your system and not the only place you can save SDL Trados files to, whether it's TBs, TMs or translation files. I don't use these default folders as I have created my own client-specific folder structure for work with Studio and MultiTerm, because that way I can keep all my resources for one client in the same place.
However, if you don't know how to do that it's better to let Studio and MultiTerm do their own thing. Maybe when you have time you could familiarise yourself with the file structure of your computer using Windows Explorer.
I'm sure Paul has an article or two he can share with you that can give you hints on file storage with SDL Trados Studio and MultiTerm, and more importantly on working with termbases.
All the best,
Ali :)
