Adding termbase entries

You can add termbase entries manually following the instructions in this topic. To add termbase entries in batches, you must use the import operation.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Trados Team (by accessing this link: http://languagecloud.sdl.com/lc).
  2. Go to the Resources view and select Linguistic Resources > Termbases OR select the Terminology view from the main menu, and then select Termbases.
  3. Click inside a termbase row to open the termbase.
  4. In the termbase, do one of the following:
    • To add an entry from scratch, select New Entry > No Entry Template.
    • To add an entry starting from an entry template, select New Entry > Template Name.
  5. Next to each language in the termbase, select Add term, enter the term, and confirm it. If the term you want to add already exists, a dialog prompts you to choose how you want the duplicate to be handled:
    • To add the duplicate as a homonym, select Create duplicate entry, and then Finish.
    • To merge the duplicate with an existing entry, select Merge with existing entry, and then select the entry that you want to merge it with. On the preview screen, consult the details of the merged entry and remove any attributes or attribute values that you do not want to be a part of the merged entry. When finished, select Finish.
  6. Add any necessary fields and confirm them.
  7. To add an entry in a new language, expand the Add language menu and select a language. Fill in the entry details and confirm it.
