Adding new termbases in SDL Language Cloud

Create a termbase in SDL Language Cloud.

Procedure

  1. In SDL Trados Studio, select Sign in in the top-right corner to connect SDL Trados Studio to SDL Language Cloud.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you are a first time user, sing up for an SDL Language Cloud account.
    • If you are a returning user, enter your SDL Language Cloud credentials.
  3. Select your SDL Language Cloud account name in the top-right corner and then select Manage account.
  4. In the Language Cloud web-interface, go to the Resources tab and select Termbases.
  5. Select New Termbase.
  6. In the Termbase information page of the New Termbase Wizard, fill in termbase details and select Next.
  7. In the Termbase definition page of the wizard, specify the termbase languages and choose between a basic and an advanced termbase template.

    The advanced template contains more fields and is better suited if you need to add more metadata to terminology. You can preview the two templates by selecting the eye button next to the template drop-down.

    You can also download file samples based on your chosen options for the two templates (*.csv, *.tbx, *.xlsx, *.xml) and use these samples as a guide to structure your terminology before importing it into Language Cloud.

  8. Select Next.
  9. Review the options you've set for the termbase in the Summary page and select Finish.
