Hello Arif DURSUN ,

Autosuggest dictionaries are based on SQL with a .bpm extension and are therefore not designed to be edited or exported to another format such as excel or used to create Termbase.

Is there a specific reason why you would want to edit an AS dictionary as you can simply create another from your TM's which can be edited/exported.

Hi Steven Whale,

I would like to create a termbase or a two-column bilingual file off of it. I found out that the AS dictionary creation is a very successful process of forming "bilingual term extraction", especially for English>Turkish lang pair. Turkish is an agglutinative language. For example, house=ev, to house=eve, from house=evden etc. And AS extracts phrases very successfully. I will seek to create such a termbase which involves dativ and accusative forms of words and phrases. I use TM fragment autosuggestions and AS dict suggestions at the same time, most often AS dict provide better suggestions.

And I understand that they are not designed for extraction but at the end of the day, they are two-column data embedded in a file and I suppose that those skilled in IT art would easily overcome this problem. Or maybe they might not :D

Thank you for your interest and cooperation in this matter,

Regards

Arif DURSUN

Open it in Sqlite and export the source and target columns to Excel. The relationship isn't always 1:1 but it might be useful for you.

will try and will report results, thanks

About 50.000 rows of source vs. 58.000 rows of target data. I am not sure if I would be able to match them in excel.
