Termbases
- How to add a termbase
You can use SDL Trados Studio to work with termbases created in SDL MultiTerm (Desktop). See the MultiTerm online Help for information about Creating a Termbase. - Filtering termbase results
Filters restrict the results that SDL MultiTerm (Desktop) displays when you search a termbase during translation. The filter must exist already in order to apply it. Filters can only be created in SDL MultiTerm (Desktop). For example, you can use a filter when searching a termbase to show only those entries that were created or modified after a certain date. - Specifying which termbase to update with new terms
The default termbase determines the languages that are used. New termbase entries added during translation in the Editor view are added to the default termbase. - Specifying the order of termbase suggestions
Termbases on the Termbases page are ordered by priority (highest priority being the first termbase in the list). The termbase priority is used to determine the order that termbase suggestions are made. You may want to change this to give priority to suggestions from some termbases that may have the most relevant terms or quality terms. - Improving termbase search results
SDL Trados Studio performs a termbase search when a segment becomes the active row or you can choose to manually perform a termbase search. Settings are available to change what results are returned and also change the way that the termbase is searched to improve performance. See Search Settings for more information.
