After importing some entries into my MultiTerm database using Glossary Converter, some entries display a language twice within a definition

Hi,

I think it's probably easier to see in the screenshot. As you can see, my termbase has English, Icelandic, and Spanish. In this case, the glossary I imported had English and Icelandic only, and there were two rows in English with "above," one for each Icelandic term. This has caused English to show up twice in this term. Interestingly, it doesn't show up twice on the list when you're browsing the termbase and when you select languages on the ribbon, English appears just once.

 

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing a termbase entry with duplicate 'above' in English linked to two different Icelandic terms, and a single Spanish translation.

Is there a way I can make those duplicates disappear in MultiTerm?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

  • Hi ,

    I managed to get rid of the 2nd type of English in the termbase. The trick was to export everything to Excel using Glossary Converter, which ignored the 2nd type of English from the glossary I had imported.

    However, I lost all links between entries (where there were synonyms), and now I have several entries that are either the same or where one entry has an extra synonym. I have tried the merge function for those, but it doesn't work. I get a prompt saying I may lose data if I don't have writing access to every language field. I tell MultiTerm to go ahead, but nothing happens, the entries still appear on the duplicates list.

    Any tip on how to make the merge function work?

    Best regards,
