File size in Multiterm from Excel file

Hello all,

I've used Glossary Converter to convert an Excel file to a termbase. The excel file is 261 KB, and my multiterm is 38MB. Granted, there are 750 entries (all text - no images), with 1 Entry-level Product column, 28 languages (all languages do not have all terms), Roman languages, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Arabic. Does this file size seem correct? When I do a Verify in Studio, it's taking upwards of 20 minutes to check the Chinese. I've taken the termbase and put it back thru glossary converter and the Excel file is still 261 KB. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can decrease the time it takes to verify, without losing the term verification during Verification.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Best, Mindy
