Add new term

I added a new project with different language pairs. When I add a new term, while translating, with the button from SDL Trados Studio "Add a new term" the terms of both languages are listed within one language field in Multiterm. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hello,

    It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where both source and target terms are being added to the same language field in MultiTerm when using the "Add a new term" feature in Trados Studio. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you resolve this:

    Step 1: Open your project in Trados Studio.

    Step 2: Navigate to the "Termbases" view.

    Step 3: Select the termbase you're working with.

    Step 4: Check the language direction settings. Make sure that the source and target languages are correctly set up.

    Step 5: If the languages are not correctly set up, you can adjust them by clicking on the "Edit" button.

    Step 6: Once you've made the necessary adjustments, try adding a new term again.

    If the problem persists, it might be due to a configuration issue in MultiTerm. In this case, you should check the language settings in your MultiTerm termbase:

    Step 1: Open MultiTerm.

    Step 2: Select the termbase you're working with.

    Step 3: Navigate to the "Termbase Management" view.

    Step 4: Check the language settings for your termbase. Make sure that the source and target languages are correctly set up.

    Step 5: If the languages are not correctly set up, you can adjust them by clicking on the "Edit" button.

    I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    If that AI advice didn't help you need to reply with more info.  What are the languages of your project, the exact languages?  What are the languages of your termbase... again the exact languages?

    Preferably share a screenshot so we have some idea of what you see that might shed some light on the problem.
