Adding entry templates

Use entry templates to make sure that all the entries in a particular termbase have the same format. Entry templates accelerate the entry creation process and make it easier to maintain the termbase over the long run.

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 > Entry Templates OR select the Terminology view from the main menu, and then select Entry Templates.
  3. Select New Entry Template.
  4. On the New Entry Template page, do the following:
    1. Enter the name of your entry template.
    2. (Optional) Enter a description.
    3. Select the appropriate termbase.
    4. Expand the Structure panel to view the structure of the selected termbase and take note of the properties of each field that you want to add to your entry template. For example, which fields are mandatory, which fields accept multiple values, and what type of data is required in each field (Text, Number, Picklist, etc.).
    5. Create a standardized structure for your entries by adding entry-level, language-level, and term-level fields.
    6. Select the properties that apply to each field:
    • Multiple – Select this option to allow users to add multiple values to the field.
    • Mandatory – Select this option to make the field mandatory.
    • Read Only – Select this option to prevent users from modifying the default value of the field.
  5. Add other languages from the termbase and configure their corresponding fields.
  6. When finished, select Save.
