MultiTerm 2015 tbx import/export

Question

I defined in MultiTerm 2015 a termbase definition (.xdt) which I gave to 3 persons. After the three persons have filled in the termbase (resulting in termbase1, termbase2, termbase3) I wanted to merge all three termbases into the termbase of the first person (termbase1). I exported the two tembases (termbase2 and termbase3) as xml of the .tbx Lisa format and tried to import them into termbase1, but nothing happens. Could anyone explain why it does not work? And what am I supposed to do in order to perform this merge?

Hi Marc, 
 
You cannot do this. You must convert the TBX XML to MultiTerm XML for import too before you be successful with this. 
 
Perhaps another alternative for you is to just use the Glossary Converter and merge your termbases together with a drag and drop... worth looking at anyway. You can find more info on this here:

Hi Marc, 
 
Why are you exporting to TBX and not MultiTerm XML? That's the native format and will save you from having to convert data. 
 
Thanks,
