Formats for data import and export

Use the following import and export termbase data formats: *.tbx, *.xml, *.xlsx and *.csv.

*.tbx and *.xml

These are standard extensions for termbases. Termbases created in MultiTerm and in Trados Team can have these extensions. Therefore, if you have termbases in MultiTerm, you can transfer them to Trados Team via export-import operations.

*.xlsx and *.csv

You can export and import termbases stored in *.xlsx and *.csv format. These are the fundamentals:
  • One termbase entry is represented on one row in these files.
  • Synonyms are represented inside the same cell. The default separator character is "*".
  • Terms can have multiple attributes of the same type (multiple value attributes) represented in the same cell. The default multiple values separator character is "|".
