multiterm 2019 15.0.6.56482: some terms cannot be edited nor deleted, and simply won't appear in the target language when translating.

Hello,

in nearly all my term banks, I always come to a point where the terms are in the bank, but will only appear in the target language. If I try to delete or edit them , it simply doesn't work.. Instead, the next term is suppressed!

I tried following steps: closed Studio, opened Multiterm, reorganised, reopened Studio... nothing helped. 

Can anyone help me on this?

Many thanks!

  • Hello  

    Im really not sure what might be causing this.

    I would suggest resetting Studio

  • Hello Steven,

    Thanks for your help. 
    I solved my issue this way:
    Export in xml, sorted by entry number.
    Created a new termbase (definition coming from the old one)
    Imported my xml-export
    Works a dream! 
    I guess my problem was due to the fact that my old termbase was nearly 10 years old. I upgraded it with every new Studio version, but it got corrupted at one point or another. To start from scratch with legacy content was a solution that worked for me.

    Greetings,

    Caroline
