SDL MultiTerm 2019 -15.0.2.49020 not recognizing existing terms in Editor, but aware that terms exist

Dear All,

I have the latest version of MultiTerm installed: SDL MultiTerm 2019 -15.0.2.49020, but the problem described below has been around forever.

I have noticed time and again that MultiTerm does not recognize terms from the termbase (about which my memory serves me better), but when asked to add the term suddenly tells me that the term already exists:

Screenshot of Trados Studio showing a dialog box with a warning that the selected term 'tasks' already exists in the active termbase, asking if the user wants to edit the existing term.

So, the term exists and Trados knows it, but the term is not recognized in the source segment and there is no red bracket above it.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Pavel

  • Hi,

    I have the same problem in Trados 2019 which was not existent in 2015.

    2019 version is unreliable in many senses. I have tried communicate my experience, but was told to log them one by one in one of the SDL portals. Anything more than simple improvement are lined up for very distant future versions.

    If I know that the term exists, I move previous or next segment and come back to current segment. Then, it recognizes. This is from experience. Noticed accidentally.

    Silly, but works with me. And, with little more effort, I avoid typesetting lengthy institution or product names which I know that they are in the termbase.

    If you are not sure whether the term is in the termbase, you can try the same.

    Best
