MDB?  Sounds old :-)

Is is possible using Multiterm Converter?

If you mean the Glossary Converter then yes, it is.

Dear Paul!!!

You cannot imagine how many tests I performed with MultitermConvert, not with the Glossary Converter, so yeahh...I meant the first one .... (Glossary Converter installation is equested, since we have all these safety restrictions, it just got unistalled at some point and is not working now). 

Your tutorials are always so clear! As soon as I have the G.Converter and the task done, I will send you the feedback!

MBD...haha ...I meant TDB, but I replaced the first word with Multiterm...

Many thanks! Bis bald!

Paul!!!

Look what I ´ve got!!! I do not have those languages in my TDB! We only have 7!!!

How come?

Is the window I enter after dropping the database to the converter ok???

Yulia Kovalskaya 

I think you are looking at the list of fields that you have come across since working with the converter... not the list of languages supported.  Try clicking on "Idioma..." and you'll see all the available languages.

This is realy weird, Paul:

This is what I see when I click on "Languages". However, at the end of the list (right-side window), I see the real fields and pick-lists I have cfreated. 

And this is the definition of out TDB:

Ok, I will just choose to ignore the "weird" stuff....

Yulia Kovalskaya 

Why is it weird?  You are not looking at the definition of your termbase... you are looking at every available language supported by the Glossary Converter and every field (what was in your spreadsheet) since you started using it.

Maybe you need to click on "Reset" to start afresh, and/or check this box so you always see the fields that will be picked up when you drag and drop your termbase into the UI.

The result looks different from yours....

I "switched off" all languages, leaving only French , Spanish and Eng + Definitions....but, defintions are not shown and ALL language columns appear. Will repeat the process. Sure i did something wrong.

Paul, 

in my case, all languages are duplicated in this manner:

Which one should I choose?

Paul!!!

You are the best!!!!

As per the "book" Thank you!!!

One interesting observation: 

The output has taken only the definitions corresponding to the terms in English (at the English-term level), though most of them are in Spanish. 

But no big deal, this version will do!

Thank you SO much for the clarifications!

PS: LET ME RECTIFY - FIELDS WITH DEFINITIONS IN OTHER LANGUAGES WERE JUST HIDDEN. NOW EVERYTHING IS OK!

Yulia Kovalskaya 

I wish you would show the full screenshot of the UI as it's hard to tell where you are... especially since you also don't use the English UI.  Normally when you drag and drop a termbase into the UI you will be presented with a list of the headings in your Excel file, but I wouldn't expect it to look like the one you have shown here simply because you have duplicates.  It still looks a little as though you are viewing the Fields.

Can you provide me with the steps you are following, one at a time... or even better share a video of what you're doing?  Or send me the definition of your termbase, so I can look at the same data you're looking at?
