Importing MultiTerm files

To import MultiTerm entries into WorldServer, you need to export them from your MultiTerm 5 termbase in a very specific format. This legacy format is provided for backwards compatibility.

Before you begin

Export the MultiTerm entries by doing the following:
  1. In MultiTerm, open an existing termbase in exclusive access mode.
  2. Specify the idiom.mdx definition by browsing to the WorldServer installation folder (the ws-legacy folder).
  3. Export the termbase.
You now have a text file containing MultiTerm 5 termbase information that you can import into WorldServer.

Procedure

  1. While importing entries into a term database, in the Import Entries into Term Database <name> dialog box, select the MultiTerm 5 format, as well as the appropriate file, encoding, and status.
  2. Select Next.
  3. On the next page, match the languages and attributes from the imported file to their WorldServer counterparts.
  4. Select Next if you want to create a new attribute or Import if you want to import the file.
