The document is a small one. What steps do i need to do to create the Termbase on MultiTerm and then add the terms to it on Studio?

What is an easy way to manage this ?

Hi Evelyne,

In this case perhaps all you need to do is create a new termbase in MultiTerm and then open the files you previously translated in Studio and add the terms from there?  So to create a simple termbase in MultiTerm just start MultiTerm and then follow these steps... I created a video as this is the easiest way to show this I think:

You then open Studio and add your termbase in here...

Tools -> Options -> Language Pairs -> All Language pairs -> Translation Memory and Automated Translation -> Termbases

Now whenever you open a file for translation this termbase will automatically be selected for use.  So, I can open a file that I have already translated (I cheated as I used BeGlobal to get the French) and can then add terms like this.  First I select a term in the source and then again in the target, and then I right-click on one of the terms and choose "Add New Term (note that I also set a shortcut for this to avoid needing the mouse)":

This opens the Termbase Viewer where you can edit the words if you like, or just save as shown by clicking on the little blue disk symbol:

Now when you enter that segment you will also see this result showing in the Term Recognition window here:

You then repeat for all the terms you need.  So a little long winded compared to a conversion from excel, but if there are not too many this works and it'll be useful for future documents as you can add the terms as you work.

Regards

Paul
