MultiTerm using outdated/deprecated language code

Sascha Cl

Hi,

MultiTerm 2017 (SR1 - 14.2.6.23639) seems to be still using outdated/deprecated language codes that differ from the ones Trados Studio 2017 uses.

MultiTerm uses:
NO-NO: Norwegian (Bokmal, Norway)
SH-LATN-RS: Serbian (Latin, Serbia)
SH-HR: Croatian (Croatia)

instead of the correct ones Trados Studio uses:

NB-NO: Norwegian (Bokmal, Norway)
HR-HR: Croatian (Croatia)
SR-LATN-RS: Serbian (Latin, Serbia)

This seems to be around and known issue for several years, as can bee seen from some posts:

2013: https://www.proz.com/forum/sdl_trados_support/261535-multiterm_croatian_iso_code_sh_hr_and_not_hr_hr.html

2015: https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/91/t/5720

2017: https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/91/t/13527

I'd like to know when this will finally be fixed?

Thanks and best regards,
Sascha

    My two cents. For a quick and dirty solution, open the TBX file with a good text editor (for instance, Notepad++) and replace the attribute "xml:lang" within the langSet tag with the corresponding values. For instance, replace xml:lang="no-NO" with xml:lang="nb-NO", etc. The number of replacements will be equal to the total number of entries. MultiTerm tools, like Glossary Converter, will label the language according to that attribute, e.g. nb-NO = Norwegian Bokmål (endonym: "Norsk Bokmål"). Regards,
