MultiTerm using outdated/deprecated language code

Question

Hi, 
 MultiTerm 2017 (SR1 - 14.2.6.23639) seems to be still using outdated/deprecated language codes that differ from the ones Trados Studio 2017 uses. 
 MultiTerm uses: NO-NO: Norwegian (Bokmal, Norway) SH-LATN-RS: Serbian (Latin, Serbia) SH-HR: Croatian (Croatia) instead of the correct ones Trados Studio uses: 
 NB-NO: Norwegian (Bokmal, Norway) HR-HR: Croatian (Croatia) SR-LATN-RS: Serbian (Latin, Serbia) 
 This seems to be around and known issue for several years, as can bee seen from some posts:

 2017: https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/91/t/13527 
 I'd like to know when this will finally be fixed? 
 Thanks and best regards, Sascha

Hi Sascha Cl 
 
Where does this cause you a problem when working with Studio/Multiterm? They should be mapped.

Hi Sascha Cl 
 
This is indeed a problem if the other software is not using language codes that are consistent between those that have been mapped for Studio and Multiterm. Your best bet is probably to use the Glossary Converter where you can map the languages at will, and then import. Or merge the termbase and tbx directly in the Glossary Converter, it's a very smart application.

Trados Studio > 3. MultiTerm
