it looks like MultiTerm 2021 is for sale at $300. Is it a program I need to purchase to use it?

If you purchase Trados Studio then MultiTerm is provided as part of that purchase.  If you only wish to use MultiTerm and not Trados Studio then there is a fee for MultiTerm. It is not free.

I read the descriptions of both MultiTerm and Glossary Converter. It looks like they have similar functions.

The Glossary Converter is a third party product developed using the MultiTerm API.  It does not do the same thing.  The converter is a tool for converting one file format to another.  MultiTerm is a tool for managing Terminology.  Completely different.

I suggest you read this to understand better what the Glossary Converter is for:

Since that article, which is six years old, there has been even more fil formats made possible for conversion and more features around the manipulation of data in the files.  But it is not a tool for managing your terminology.

Hi, Paul.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer.

I have purchased SDL Trados Studio 2021 for freelancer.

Does it mean that I already have MultiTerm? In that case, I didn't even know what I had. :-(

The link you included above looks great. 

Have a great day.

Yes.  Look in the download section of your account.
