How to Remain the "id4" column in the Microsoft Terminology Collection File

Question

Could anyone tell me how to create the term base using Microsoft Terminology Collection file with the IDs remained?

I saw there is the column of "id4" on the Microsoft Terminololgy Collection file and I want to use this numbers. However, when I convert that file using Glossary Converter, there is not listed in "Fields" and that IDs no longer exist on the converted XML file.

Best regards,

Hi Ayaka Ito 
 
You may be better off converting to MultiTerm XML and then importing to your termbase synchronising on English as this is probably the most populous language in the termbase. 
 
Alternativiely use the merge feature in the Glossary Converter and add all your TBX files in one go, again synchronising on English.

Hi Ayaka Ito 
 
Can you tell me where you see this id4 column? 
 
The MS Terminology Colections only provide this information in a TBX, and it's all supported correctly by MultiTerm: 
 
Concept ID 
Definition 
Source term 
Source language identifier 
Target term 
Target language identifier

Unknown said: You can not use that MS file at " MultiTerm " That's the why I commented like this. Useless 
 
 This is because you do not know how to use MultiTerm. TBX has always been usable by MultiTerm using Multiterm Convert which is part of the product you have installed already. The Glossary Converter certainly simplifies this process which is the beauty of the Glossary Converter.
