How to perform a termbase search

SDL Trados Studio automatically searches the termbase when you place your cursor in a segment, and displays the results in the Term Recognition window. However, you can also manually perform a search in the termbase and insert the term translation into your active document in the Editor view.

Procedure

  1. In the Editor view, select the Termbase Search tab to display the Termbase Search window. If this window is not displayed, select View tab > Information group > Termbase Search in the Editor view.
  2. Enter the term you want to search for in the search box:
    • If you want to use wildcards in your search, enter them in the search text.
    • If you want to perform a fuzzy search, click Fuzzy Search to enable the option.
  3. Press Enter to perform the search. The results are displayed in the Termbase Search window.
  4. To insert the term translation into your target segment:
    • Place your cursor at the point in the target segment in the Editor window where you want to insert the term.
    • Select the term translation that you want to insert from the Termbase Search window and click Insert term translation.

Results

The term is displayed in the target segment.
