Trados error with creation database (bilingual glossary)

To whom it may concern,

I installed Trados in my university using a license that my teacher gave me, but I have a problem I can't solutionate. When I'm goint to create a new terminological database there is no problem, but when I use bilingual glossary for creating a database, I am not able. It is say 'error, mistake, is not possible'. My teacher told me to contact you as some  classmates have this problem. 

thank you

  • First of all make sure you have the correct version of your software. We still don't know what this is (looks like 2019 or 2021), so check this:

    SDL Trados Studio 2021 - 16.0.2.3343
    SDL MultiTerm 2021 - 16.0.1.304

    SDL Trados Studio 2019 SR2 - 15.2.7.2849
    SDL MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.6.56482

    If it's still a problem after that then try creating your termbase in MultiTerm for the time being.  I'd also note that you should ensure this option is what you really want because the example templates for this often create a termbase for you that's full of unnecessary fields.  Most freelance translators only want, and need, and simple template for the source and target language with maybe a couple of additional fields if they have a use for them.  It's normally better to create the termbase based on your own definition.
