How can a TM be made from the Microsoft Asian Languages Terminology Collection?

 I found Microsoft Asian Languages Terminology Collection including English, Arabian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc. I am thinking to make a TM of only two languages from this. Can you please advise a method to do this? I tried to find some information on the Internet including the community but could not find one. Frank

  • Hi  

    I create a video a few years ago on this that is probably still helpful today:

    Hi Paul

    Thank you for your reply.
    I used glossary converter version 4.10.**** but could not convert the MS Asian Language sdltb file. I tried some settings including:
    General tab: Use MultiTerm template when creating ON/OFF, I think this setting is what you mention in the video while different version.
    Spreadsheet tab: Use unprocessed XML when converting between termbases and spreadsheets: ON/OFF
    ibd: Synonyms in Excel Tables: all options (No support, Full support and Multi-line format)

    The following is at the beginning of the error message:
    ************************** Error message ***************************
    There has been an error reading entry #0.

    This termbase is encrypted and can't be converted.

    at Sdl.MultiTerm.Tools.GlossaryConverter.Workflow.Converter.ConvertOneFile(IFilter inputFilter, IFilter outputFilter, String inputPath, FieldReader fieldReader)

    Program version 4.10.6586.24685
    (snip)
    ************************** The end of the Error message ***************************

    I am wondering whether mdf or mtf files which are included in the MS Asian Language can be used for this purpose.

    I appreciate further reply.

    Sincerely
    Frank
