How to quickly add synonyms to a termbase entry?

I just added the following term pair to my termbase:

ICT-Professionals = IT professionals

A little further down in the text, the author then used "IT-Professionals". Further down still, they used "IT professionals".

How can I quickly add all these source variants to my original TB entry? So I end up with a single TB entry containing:

ICT-Professionals; IT-Professionals; IT professionals = IT professionals

This is very easy memoQ. Just click the original TB entry and add the synonyms.

Funnily enough, this is STILL not possible in DVX3, although the developers recently promised me (on Twitter) that they will finally be adding this functionality in the near future.

  • Did you just try selecting the pair and adding them again? Studio should create the synonym when you do this. Alternatively dock the termbase viewer in the editor view and work the same as you do in memoQ. Just click the original entry and edit it so you add all the synonyms you want. Or if you have a list of these already then I'd consider exporting to excel perhaps and do them quickly in there and then upgrade the excel spreadsheet to a termbase again - easy with the Glossary Converter.
