Dear Community!
Why would Multiterm not recognize terms if written with uppercase letters in the document?
"Cableado" is saved in the database, but Trados does not "see" it:
TDB definition has an option (unavailable upon the glossary creation), but I would say that by NOT selecting it, the program is supposed to IGNORE uppercase and lowercase characters:
Thanks in advance for the answer!

"Question improvement suggestion": Please provide more information about the version of Trados Studio and MultiTerm you are using. Also, it would be helpful to know if there have been any recent changes to your system or software.
In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:
Hello,
It seems like you're having an issue with Trados Studio not recognizing terms from your MultiTerm glossary when they are written in uppercase letters. This could be due to the case sensitivity settings in your MultiTerm glossary.
Here are some steps you can try:
Step 1: Open your MultiTerm glossary.
Step 2: Go to the 'Termbase Definition' section.
Step 3: Check the 'Case Sensitive' option. If it's selected, this means that your termbase is treating uppercase and lowercase letters as different characters. If you want your termbase to ignore the case of the letters, you should deselect this option.
Step 4: Save the changes and close MultiTerm.
Step 5: Restart Trados Studio and check if the issue persists.
If the issue still persists, you might want to check the 'Minimum match value' setting in Trados Studio. If it's set too high, Trados Studio might not recognize terms that are not an exact match. You can adjust this setting in the 'Options' menu under 'Language Pairs > All Language Pairs > AutoSuggest Dictionaries'.
I hope this answer addressed your question. If not, please reject the answer, add the question improvement suggestion information, and click the RWS Community AI checkbox on the right to try again.

Could you, please, indicate where the "Case Sensitive" option is? I cannot find it in the Termbase definition.
The option you are looking for is not in the termbase, but in Studio.
To control how Studio recognizes terms when working in the Editor, you need to check this option in your Project Settings here:
Hi, Walter!
I am using Trados 2022, but looks like I don´t have this option in the menu:
Best regards!
Hi Yulia Kovalskaya
You are in the wrong place (TM instead of "Termbases").
In the left-hand panel, go to "Termbases":
Walter...I just don´t have the last two options, being the last one about the "overlapping terms":
Maybe Trados 22 had an update where these options were added???
HI Yulia Kovalskaya
Interesting, and you are right, I don't have these 2 options either in Studio 2022.
It appears that they have been added in 2024, although I can't find any mention of this in the release notes.

Do you know more about this change?
This is how it looks in Studio 2024:
The fact that one of the two new options has still not been translated is also an indication that it is a new option
One of the checkboxes is mentioned in the Trados Studio 2024 CU1 release notes here:
https://gateway.sdl.com/apex/communityknowledge?articleName=CUs-Studio2024
We have added a new search option in the termbase search settings called Display synonyms separately in the Term Recognition view. When this option is selected, synonym terms will appear separately in term recognition view. This option is not activated by default. A synonym refers to multiple terms defined on the same language within the same entry, and therefore sharing the same entry ID in the termbase.
Hi, Jesús!
Well, could be, since we are still using 2022 version.
But still, it has nothing to do with the uppercase characters problem.
Anyway, could you , please, share a screenshot of the feature yuo mention??? What does it mean they appear "separately"? Currently, they are just listed in the view window....
It’s the first checkbox in Walter’s screeshot.
