If you try to create a new term that already exists in the same TermBase, MultiTrans warns you that it is a duplicate and provides you with merging options, if the option Check term duplicates is active in your Preferences.
Procedure
- When MultiTrans identifies duplicates, it displays the Duplicates Manager window.
Source terms are listed at the top.
- When you select a source term, its duplicates are listed in the lower window.
- Check the Delete record after merge box to delete one of the records after the merge.
If you are merging into the duplicate, the source term is deleted. If you are merging into the source, the duplicate is deleted.
- Select a source term and one of its duplicates, and click either Merge into duplicate or Merge into source.
- If you choose to merge the records, and there is information in the same field in both records, you are presented with the following dialogue box: Field conflict found. Overwrite target value with source's? . In this window decide which information to keep.
