The terms you use during translation are stored in repositories called termbases. You must create termbases before being able to add term entries.
Before you begin
Before you start, you need to decide:
- What languages you want the termbase to support
- What the entry structure will be
- What termbase you are creating (local or server-based termbase, new or existing termbase)
Procedure
- Go to from the Ribbon.
- Select a location and enter a name for the termbase.
- Select Next.
- In the Termbase Wizard, on the Termbase Definition page, choose whether you want to:
- Create a new definition for your new termbase.
- Use an existing template or definition file.
- Model the new termbase on an existing one.
- On the Termbase Name page, enter a name, description and copyright notice for your termbase. Select Add More to also add an icon, splash screen and a reference file.
- On the Language Fields page, use the Available language box to list all the languages that your termbase will support.
- On the Descriptive Fields page, add the sections that will hold information for the termbase terms, for example: Context, Usage, Observation, Illustrations, Associated projects, Part of speech, etc.
Note: You cannot remove or change existing fields.
- On the Entry Structure page, define the hierarchy and structure of the descriptive fields:
- Select a field from the Available descriptive fields list.
- Choose the Entry structure where you want the field to show.
- Select Add.
- Specify the settings for each selected descriptive field:
- Select the Mandatory checkbox to make the field mandatory at this level.
- Select the Multiple checkbox to be able to add multiple fields of this type at this level.
- Select Next to go to the Wizard Complete page, and then click Finish to close the Termbase Wizard.
