To clarify my question/suggestion, I am NOT referring to one-to-many term entries, but rather to one-to-one term entries stored in the TB in the following way:
-
good (EN) : gut| (DE)
-
all (EN) : all| (DE)
My question was whether, by storing the term only once in this form, Trados can recognize the same German word across its various inflected forms without having to register each form separately.
For example, would the TB recognize the following as the same term without individual entries?
-
gut → guter, gute, gutes, gutem, guten
-
all → aller, alle, alles, allem, allen
In German translation, not only adjectives and verb forms but also indefinitas and noun singular/plural forms and case inflections (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative) result in many surface variants of the same lemma.
If the CAT tool cannot recognize these as the same term, we would need to register the same word 6–7 times in the TB, which would significantly increase workload and also cause considerable inconvenience during QA.
That is why I wanted to ask whether Trados provides a function to handle this kind of inflectional variation automatically.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
