Hello  ,

First of all, there is one page 'dedicated' to Multiterm Extract in the SDL website: www.sdl.com/.../extract.html so far so good, but where are the specific web links to "purchase" or "download"?, they're nowhere to be seen. I did not find it in the SDL Store https://www.sdl.com/store/ either.

MT (MultiTerm) Extract is a desktop tool used to create glossaries from existing documents- searching for the frequency of terms (mono and bilingual) at sub segment level, automatically enabling you to build glossaries for use in MT Desktop

If you are interested in purchasing (or need more information)- you can find what you need here -

Is this program being phased out? (As far I can tell it's an oldtimer).

MultiTerm Extract is a standalone tool-so does not connect directly into Studio, but you would use the extracted terminology in your MT Desktop glossaries. 

MT Extract is still used by Corps/LSP's and Freelancers -so will remain available via our website/individual account managers.

There is a webpage in SDL Support about "Licensing requirements for SDL MultiTerm Desktop, Extract, Widget, Convert" (gateway.sdl.com/CommunityKnowledge. While it states that "The SDL MultiTerm suite can be installed standalone and does not need to be licensed/activated" it is not clear if MultiTerm Extract is part of the MultiTerm suite.  Is MultiTerm Extract part of the MultiTerm suite? If so, then the statement above is not true. 

MultiTerm Extract is a standalone tool that does not require a separate license (or a Studio license)- so although it does belong in the 'MultiTerm' catergory, it is not part of the standard package. 

There is a user guide here

ftp://downloadcenter.sdl.com/T2011/Docs/SDL_MultiTerm_2011_Extract_User_Guide.pdf

As the fundamental functionality has not changed -although the document is dated, this is still completely relevant

Hello Steven,

Regarding this old issue, I'm not able to find Multiterm Extract in the store. There's some information for sure (https://www.sdltrados.com/products/multiterm-extract/), but links are a dead end. Strange.

Can you please shed some light on it?

Thanks in advance.

It was actually removed from the SDL store a little while ago and can currently only be purchased by going through your account manager, if you have one, or by contacting the live chat team.

However, I would note that this application is quite old and it has not been updated to work with more modern file formats, including SDLXLIFF and SDLTMs.  So depending on what you want this for it may involve some workarounds to get the source files into the older formats that are supported.

If you're just looking for a simple term extraction tool for your Studio projects then you might find the ProjectTermExtract app on the appstore useful:

You're welcome. Please note that in this time a decision was made not to sell MultiTerm Extract at all and it's now provided at no cost here:
