Downloading termbase definitions

If you want to reuse the termbase definition of existing termbases, you can download it and then apply it when you create new termbases. When you use termbase definition files (*.xdt files), you ensure that your termbases are configured consistently across your organization.

  1. In SDL Trados Studio, select Sign in in the top-right corner to connect SDL Trados Studio to SDL Trados Studio .
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If you are a first time user, sign up for an SDL Language Cloud account.
    • If you are a returning user, log in with your SDL Language Cloud credentials.
  3. Select your SDL Language Cloud account name in the top-right corner and then select Manage account.
  4. In SDL Trados Studio , go to the Resources view and select the Terminology tab OR select the Terminology view from the main menu.
  5. Select Download Termbase Definition.
  6. Save the *.xdt file.
