Import and Export between Multiterm and Glossary Converter.

Question

I have a termbase that includes certain text fields specified as "Multi" as the "Forbidden Translation" field shown in the image below. 
 
 When I drag it to Glossary Converter, the Excel file generated treated it as follows, using "/" to seperate them: 
 
 Then, when I drag the Excel file to Glossary Converter again, the .sdltb file generated treated same as in Excel file, keep the multi forbidden entries in one line with "/" in-between. 
 
 My question is, how can I revert it back to sdltb but making the forbidden entries same as it was before, with different entries list seperately? 
 Thank you.

Hi Jie: 
 
 Have you tried to change settings here (write / instead) prior to convert?

Hope it helps,

Ok, I see. Then, I recommend working the other way round, write the forbidden terms in columns with the header Chinese (language) and then use another column to categorize those terms as forbidden. When converting, do associate the "forbidden" type with every forbidden form of your term. For that, I use Multiterm Convert, not Glossary converter. You should end with something like (in my example forbidden = rejected term)
