My input model contains three languages.
Every time I'm adding a new term, I am promted to fill in the term field for all languages otherwise the entry won't save. I usually add DE and RU first, while EN joins at a later point in time.
Is it possible to change the settings (definition or input model?) so that the entry is saved without me having to fill in all three languages or deleting the ones I don't want?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi,
Perhaps you made these mandatory fields when you created the termbase? So your options are either to change the definition using the Catalog View (2011)/ Termbase Management View (2014) or perhaps recreate your termbase with the fields you want. The latter suggestion may be easier than it sounds if you have the Glossary Converter and your termbase structure is simple. You can drag the sdltb file into the Glossary Converter which will create a spreadsheet. remove the columns you don't want (so leave yourself with two languages perhaps) and then drag the spreadsheet back into the Converter to have the termbase recreated.
The Glossary Converter is a free application you can get from here : Glossary Converter

I have almost the same problem. If I have an input model active, the target language term is mandatory. If I don't, it isn't. As far as I can see, the reason for this is that when you create an input model, the "Mandatory" box for each of the terms is ticked and greyed out, i.e. you can't untick it.
My current workaround is to type a space in the TL term. MT then allows me to save. Not very elegant, but it works.
Hi, I guess it is still the same in MultiTerm 2021 that terms (in my case DE and EN) are mandatory fields in input models (if so defined at some point) and that this option cannot be deactivated. Some of my colleagues would like to create an entry for one language only when they are editing texts in DE or in EN and do not have a translation at hand.
