Merge termbases

Dear Community,

I would like to merge two different termbases.
The new one as a Master. The old one includes existing term entries.
What is the easiest way to do that?

Thank you in advance.

    If the termbases have the same structure:

    • Save the definition of the new one.
    • Export old and new one with default export definition
    • Create a new TB based on the stored TB definition file
    • Import the master TB first using default import defintion
    • Create a new import definition, importing the entries sorted by the source language (the language, which has all entries) and merging existing entries
    • Import the old TB using this import defintion

    Should the TBs have different structures, I would create a new one from scratch with a structure containing elements from both TBs and then repeat the procedure of exporting and importing TBs.
