meanwhile most errors are gone, without me changing anything oO and Quick add works but I cannot add another translation for an existing term via Quick add: I then get this error: The index was outside the bounds of the array. It must not be negative and smaller than the collection. Parameter name: index (freely translated from German: Der Index lag außerhalb des Bereichs. Er darf nicht negativ und kleiner sein als die Sammlung. Parametername: Index.)
I can add another translation for an existing term via Termbase Viewer though.

I still must reset the Excel termbase as standard after a restart of Trados.

Hi Andrea-Melinda Ghisa,

here we go.

There is no audio and this is my first recording of this kind of presentation so I hope this is ok. ;)

Step shown:

set TermExcelerator termbase to standard

Add new term, which is not shown in term view without switching the segment

switch project and set termbase TermExcelerator to standard there too

switch back to previous project, open termbase settings to show that TermExcelerator is NOT standard anymore

switch back to other project, open termbase settings to show that TermExcelerator is NOT standard anymore either

regards,

Pascal

Hi Pascal Zotto 

Andrea is on leave at the moment so I just tried to look at your video to add it to our board.  Unfortunately it won't play.  Can you load it as a file inside a zip instead?

Yes, here it is.

Hi ,

All my systems where this problem occurs are win10 64bit professional.

Here comes one of the files.Büro EN_UK-LB_LU.xlsx

Hi Steven,

Sorry for the late reply but I had no further update to this until this week as I seem to have found a possible issue. When you tried to reproduce the issue, did you always use the same language combination?

I realized this week, that it does not lose focus if I work with the same language combination between various projects and clients. (Normally I switch between 2 to 6 language combinations multiple times a day so it never occured to me this could be the problem but this week I did not.) Even if I quit Trados focus stayed on Termexelerator termbank.

But as soon as the language combination changes, then focus of termbanks is lost and Trados sets the first Multiterm termbase as standard.

So maybe try switching project while using German > EN(US) and then German > EN(UK) or other language combinations.

Edit:

Ok, forget about all the above. It seems the latest Trados patch fixed the isse. I just wanted to reset termbase after switch project and language combination and it's still correct. I switched back to the other language combination and it's still correct there too.
