    Since entering new terms is currently very time-consuming there should be an option to import terms and translation over Excel or text files (e.g. with a tab as delimiter).

    Multiterm has keyboard shorcuts to insert certain values: with D you can add a descriptive field and with T you can add a term field. However, there is no easy quick way to chose a value from a picklist other than scroll down with the mouse and click...

    We have groupshare and online Multiterm. RWS removed existing functionality that allowed users with permissions to export the termbase to excel. This was used by our group for termbase reviews and by vendors as offline backups. We do not have...

    We would welcome if MultiTerm Desktop allowed us to change user names for server-based termbases (as it already does for local ones). As is, organizations using anonymized Windows logins have trouble identifying individual terminologists.

    A number of our clients use a lot of inhouse abbreviations the meaning of which we need to keep in our terminology files. SDL Support team helped me convert such a file into an SDL termbase, however, I was surprised they used kind of a workaround. The...

    Unless you know how to do an XSL transformation with your XML import file, unknown fields cannot be correctly mapped onto an existing MultiTerm termbase definition when importing them (e.g. import from another non-SDL termbase). Either no terms or inconsistent...
