Termbase doesn't seem to be recognised

Question

Hello everyone, 
 I recently created my first termbase but am having some difficulties with it: 1. It is open but the preview window tells me it is closed. 2. When I add a term it takes it but the new terms do not appear in the list on the left hand side, they did orginally but now I can see only one term. 3. When I am translating I get suggestions for the terms I have added, but only sometimes and only for some terms. 
 Any suggestions? 
 Best regards Marisa

Probably the best resource for this to get started is installed with Studio. Go to the Welcome View and click on the Get Started tab as shown below. Then scroll down and you'll find three PDF documents. One of them is all about TM management. 
 
 You might also find this blog entry useful too once you have read the PDF: 
 Fields & Attributes in Studio 
 Hopefully something there will be what you're looking for.

Hi Marias, 
 
Where is it open? Have you added it to your Project Settings, in particular the active project you are working on?

Paul · Answer

Try going to Project Settings, termbases and see if you can see it there? Project Settings and File -> Options are not the same thing.

Paul · Answer

Does it have a red cross next to the name? Are the languages matching those of your project? Sometimes people create en(US) - de(DE) for example instead of just EN-DE and if they then work on a project using en(GB) - de(DE) the termbase is unusable.
