What is the difference between Multi-termbase and termbase in Studio 11. Are they the same? or is Multi-term better?
Thank you in advance.

Good Morning
There is no Multi-termbase - neither in Studio nor elsewhere.
What you probably mean is a MultiTerm termbase, which is exactly the same you use in Studio.
You can create and edit termbases with Multiterm, while you can also use them in Studio. However in Studio you cannot create a termbase or do any maintenance on it. For creation, maintenance and editing termbases use Multiterm.

Thank you for answering this. I'm still trying to understand this. So the difference is that with the termbase which comes with Studio 11, you cannot create nor do any maintenance? If I wanted to do all these, should I purchase Multi-Term termbase software separately?
No termbases are coming with Studio. You get a termbase there only if you:
- create one yourself or
- get a package from someone with a termbase inside
After having either created or received a termbase, you can use it in Studio for terminology recognition and you can also add terms to this termbase on the fly while translating in Studio.
Studio will not allow you to create a termbase, to edit the termbase definition and to make a maintenance on a termbase. For this tasks you need Multiterm.
You do not need to purchase Multiterm, as it is part of your SDL Trados Studio 2011 license. Just download the installer from your account and install Multiterm.
The only Studio version which comes without Multiterm is Studio Starter.

If you only intend to use a glossary then maybe you can use the Glossary Converter to create your termbase? This allows you to easily convert an excel spreadsheet of terms to a termbase, and vice versa. So you wouldn't need to use MultiTerm in this case... only have it installed.

Hello,
Can we have Multiterm installed separately in our computer and in the same time integrated in SDL studio?
Thank you

Yes. But it's very important to make sure you use the version that is compatible. For example... going back three versions these are the ones you should have installed:
Trados Studio 2021 - 16.2.8.9097
MultiTerm 2021 - 16.2.1.1044
Trados Studio 2019 SR2 - 15.2.8.3007
MultiTerm 2019 - 15.0.6.56482
Trados Studio 2017 SR1 - 14.1.10018.54792
MultiTerm 2017 SR1 - 14.2.8.55461
