Why not?  What happens and what, and where, have you tried?

Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. In the toolbar, the fields for the source and target terms are simply missing. I am sorry if my explanation is lacking further details.

The problem is, I have not really been using MultiTerm for ages and only do so on very rarec occasions . I am asking on behalf of my father who is 84 years old who is feeding his own database of German-French-Italien vocabulary which is excellent. From time to time he is struggling with the software. I am trying to help the best I can, but it is difficulut because he lives far away and we only see each other every 6 weeks or so. I would still appreciate if you could help. Thank you very much! Kind regards, Eva

This is quite tricky (for me anyway) to follow what you mean.  The default layout in MultiTerm looks like this:

The Flags like this:

Does that help you to explain better what the problem is you are trying to resolve?

You can simply copy paste images into the forum if that helps?

Hi Paul,

Thanks so much!! I will look into this again and get back to you if I still need help.

Best wishes, Eva

Hi Paul, Finally I have been able to make a screenshot. The screen currently looks like this. There is no field for the source and the target term. Do you know how to fix this? Best wishes, Eva

...There is also another screenshot of an error message. Sorry that it is in German. It says "error when reading the XML structure. Please check if the XML file is well formed. Root element is missing." Maybe this helps explain the error?

Hi Eva Voelker ,

This message is related to the MultiTerm Widget, which can be installed along with MultiTerm. If you (or your father) do not use it, the easiest way to get rid of the message would be to uninstall the MultiTerm widget. This can be done from the Control Center.

Best regards

Hi Annette, Thank you very much for your kind reply! We will try and do this. I also hope we will find a way to get rid of the main problem relating to the missing fields for the source and the target term. Best regards, Eva

Not sure what you are missing. It all seems to be there:

Hi Daniel, Thank you very much. You are right, the terms themselves are inidcated in the actual entry. But the in the toolbar above, the fields for the source and target terms are missing. Unfortunately, I do not have Multiterm on my own computer which is why I cannot show you what I mean exactly. Sorry about this. Cheers, Eva

Hi Eva Voelker

Do you mean this:

Yes, exactly! What do I have to do to see this surface?

Hi Eva ,

From your screenshot above I can see that you are using an older version of MultiTerm. It seems that the toolbar for the languages is missing. Have a look at the "Ansicht" menu, maybe you can find an option there to add it. 
Perhaps the menu contains an option called "Fenster-Layout zurücksetzen" - I don't remember if it exists in that version. If yes, it should restore the view so that all toolbars are back.

HTH

Best regards

Hi Eva Voelker , like Manfred Altmann I am using a newer version of MultiTerm. Yours must be older than the 2015 version. (I copied the above screenshot from an old YouTube video. I don't speak Polish.) In my version there is a menu point "customize ribbon" in the "view" ("Ansicht"):

There might be something comparable in your version?

Hi Daniel, Great thank you so much, I will look into this. The MultiTerm my dad is using is indeed older. Best wishes, Eva
