Managing fonts in Termbase Viewer impossible

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing Termbase Viewer with a red error icon next to 'Default layout' dropdown menu.

Any idea to solve this issue. Only happens here.

I am using a surface laptop 13.5 inches (2256 x 1504} screen

  • Frankly, I don't believe, devs will fix this.

    In all honesty I believe you are right.  I very much doubt this will ever get fixed for MultiTerm.  It is possible that once we have successfully detached MultiTerm from Studio so that it is no longer so dependent on one solution that we can start to look at creating better solutions for the desktop tool and with that an independent preview that has proper functionality around font sizes in the preview window.

    The focus on terminology is very much around the use of Language Cloud Terminology where the capability is actively developed, but there are still some dependencies in Studio that need to be addressed to allow us to make sure we have a better experience.  Once this is done, and it is not a trivial task as the terminology features in Studio are very heavily wedded to MultiTerm, then we can improve it.

    I'm pretty sure you won't be happy about this, but I either tell you where we are, lie, or just ignore you.  I'd prefer to tell you where we are.

    Next time I will build my TB in Excel instead of killing my eyes.

    For many translators who only use a glossary this may be a better solution anyway as you can use the Excel Terminology Provider in Studio to use the excel file as a termbase and the preview is probably easier to read.  If it's not we could probably do something about this and I'd be happy to initiate this work if you think it's needed and will help?
