Two questions re working with multiple termbases in Studio

Michael Beijer

I have multiple termbases attached to my current project. I have two questions:

1. How can I see which TB an entry is in, in the Termbase Viewer pane?

2. Is there any way to quickly save term pairs to a specific termbase, rather than merely to the Default one? memoQ has shortcuts to send them to any TB you want. That's overkill, but I would need two: my default, and one other.

    1 - Hitlist settings, you can change the fields to be shown here as well as the font in the view

    2 - Project Termbase Settings

    You can see the TB names in my screenshot, and as far as I remember it is default.

    Thanks Jerzy, but … I meant the Termbase Viewer pane, rather than the Termbase Recognition pane.

    Regarding point 2: what I mean is, are there two different shortcuts for quickly adding terms to two different termbases on the fly? This is possible in memoQ (and cafeTran), as you can assign a specific shortcut for quickly adding terms to any of your termbases. I usually work with two termbases active, one project-specific, and one general. As I translate, I then send new terms to either of these, depending on what type of term it is. This is very, very handy. However, it doesn't seem possible in Studio to quickly send terms to two different TBs. Only to the TB that is selected as default.

    We would need a second shortcut: "Quick Add New Term to second TB" (i.e., the one with priority level 2).

    It is not possible in Studio.
    Sorry for misunderstanding your question.
    You also cannot see which termbase is shown in the TB Viewer. By default it is ONLY the standard TB in your project. However, there are some tricks, which do change this behavior. When you right click in the Term Recognition view and chose "View term details", it will be shown in the Termbase Viewer windows. If this term does NOT come from the standard TB, then TB Viewer shows now entry from another TB. When you now add a term, it will go to this termbase and NOT to the main one - at least it is what I experienced.
    In this respect I am "just a translator" and not a terminologist, so I do not see any big problem in adding terms into just one termbase. Should I need this entries in another TB, I think I will be able to export them from my TB in Multiterm and import into another TB.

    Adding terms to a secondary termbase, as Jerzy has explained, is not possible with Studio. However, if you keep your secondary termbase open in Multiterm in the background, you can use a Dragon command or AHK script to add new terms to it as you work.
