Opening termbases

If you already have default termbases selected in the Options dialog or termbases selected in your Project Settings, these termbases open automatically when you open a file for translation. However, you can open other termbases, in the Editor, during translation.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. In the Term Recognition window, select Project Termbase Settings. The Termbases page is automatically displayed in the Project Settings dialog.
  4. Add a local termbase, a remote termbase or a cloud termbase.
    • To open a local, file-based termbase, select Use > File-based MultiTerm Termbase, select the termbase and select Open.
    • To open a server-based termbase, select Use > Server-based MultiTerm Termbase, and, in the Select Termbases dialog, add the server (or simply select the checkboxes next to the termbase name you want to add) and log in.
    • To open a Trados Terminology termbase, select Use > Cloud-based Terminology and log in.
  5. Continue selecting termbases until the list is complete. Any termbases you have added appear in the Termbases box and the Enabled option is selected for the termbase. When this option is selected, the termbase is automatically searched during translation when a segment becomes the active segment.
  6. Select OK to save your changes and to close the dialog.

Results

The termbase is now opened in the Editor.
