Automatic duplicates in Multiterm with CU 13 and Multiterm 14.2.623639

Question

Hi, 
 
 The issue discussed in https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/translationproductivity/f/90/p/19310/66292#pi6614=2 is back, since the upgrade of studio 2017 with CU13. 
 In short: when,in the editor window, adding a new term to Multiterm, the source term and the target terms are being multiplied + the target language (French) appears twice . Only one target window is being filled.

I hope that the answer to this recurring issue will not be to revert to previous versions of Studio and Multiterm because if this is the case I will never ever do any upgrades anymore.

Hi Manuella Lange 
 Apologies for the late response... your email got lost in my inbox. 
 I could reproduce this with your termbase, so I created the termbase by exporting the SDLTB to Excel and then back using the Glossary Converter. That fixed the issue for me. 
 
 So the only conclusion I can come to is that the termbase was corrupted somehow. You will have to clean it up and remove all the ones that in there and already duplicated, but the problem doesn't seem to happen anymore for me. 
 I'll send you the updated termbase in case it helps you, but I think it could do with a little cleaning up. You might find the Excel sheet is useful for that too as you can see very easily where you have entries that you might want to change to improve your leverage irrespective of this issue.

Hi Manuella Lange 
 
How did you create your original termbase? I can't reproduce this problem so I'm wondering whether the issue is with your termbase. Can you share your termbase so we can investigate it a little? If that's ok please send it to pfilkin@sdl.com
