Multiterm 2019 cannot recognise termbases created in Multiterm 2015

I have Trados 2019 running on Windows 10. have recently installed Multiterm 2019. All my existing term bases were created using Multiterm 2015.  I open Trados and click on "termbases", go to the folder where I have stored all my termbases, but the program does not recognise them. All my existing termbases have the extension .mdf, and appear as two separate files, one for each language, for example "general dictionary-English.mdf" and "general dictionary-Spanish.mdf"

How can I resolve this problem

Thanks

    Hello Jennifer,

    It seems like you're having trouble with MultiTerm 2019 not recognizing termbases created in MultiTerm 2015. Here are some steps you can try:

    Step 1: Ensure that your Windows 10 is up-to-date. You can do this by typing "Check for updates" in the Windows Search bar and following the prompts to install any available updates. Restart your computer after the updates are installed.

    Step 2: Try repairing your Trados Studio and MultiTerm installations from the Control Panel. You can find instructions on how to do this in the articles "Repairing your installation of Trados Studio" and "Repairing your installation of MultiTerm Desktop".

    Step 3: Check the folder name or file path where the termbase is saved. If it contains any special characters, try changing it to something simpler.

    Step 4: If the issue persists, you might need to convert your MultiTerm 2015 termbases to a newer format that MultiTerm 2019 can recognize. You can do this using the "Upgrade Termbases" function in MultiTerm 2019.
