Exporting data from SDL MultiTerm to SDL Language Cloud

You cannot upload a file-based SDL MultiTerm termbase (*.sdltb) directly into SDL Trados Studio termbases. However, you can export the data from your SDL MultiTerm termbase into an SDL Trados Studio termbase.

Procedure

  1. Log in to SDL MultiTerm and save your termbase definition as an *.xdt file.
  2. Export your SDL MultiTerm termbase into *.xml using the default export definition.
  3. In SDL Trados Studio, select Sign in in the top-right corner to connect SDL Trados Studio to SDL Trados Studio .
  4. 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.
  5. Select your SDL Language Cloud account name in the top-right corner and then select Manage account.
  6. In SDL Trados Studio , go to the Resources view and select the Terminology tab OR select the Terminology view from the main menu.
  7. Create a termbase in SDL Language Cloud. Make sure you select Load an existing SDL MultiTerm termbase definition and use the *.xdt file.
  8. After the termbase is created, import the *.xml file into SDL Trados Studio .

What to do next

Your new SDL Trados Studio termbase can now be shared with other users if you have a business subscription and access to SDL Trados Studio.
