Hi Claudio Nasso 

I guess Fasil Aziz or David Pooley could confirm the behaviour in SDLX (or maybe any SDL translator!)... I don't know SDLX well enough.  I can tell you there was a feature like this in the old Trados:

Studio doesn't have this feature, but you could use the Terminjector to achieve this.  The drawback of course is that this would not use your actual termbase and you'd have to create a separate rules file for it as well as use this TM provider for your work... at least for the pretranslation.

I think the reason it never made the Studio product, if I recall the discussions correctly from years ago was that there was some doubt over its usefulness given ambiguities over things like which term to choose when you have synonyms or homonyms for example.  So it was removed and I think including this post I can only ever recall this question being asked three times!

I think it is something that could be done using the API but would probably have to set down some rules such as first come first served for the synonym/homonym problem... or perhaps make it an interactive process and stop and ask when an ambiguity is found.  Might be interesting for a developer with the time to do it.  We would not do this with the community developer team unless there was thought to be good value in it and then we'd have to fit it into our priority list which is already quite long.

Why don't you submit this as an idea and then we can find out how many people would be interested in such a feature?

Paul
