Hi Frank Van T Veer,

Can I attach it here, or do I have to send it to a specific email address?

you can copy-paste it here, thank you! 

I can't copy paste it, it is being seen as spam or abuse.

Please send it to me as private message here in community 

I just tried, but it is also considered spam, so it is refused.

I unblocked it above. I'll check it and get back to you.

It seems the issue is from the option 'check for possible non-usage of target terms'

Please try to recreate the termbase if this is a local termbase, here is the article with a video showing how to do that:

And after recreating, see if you still get the error.

Thank you.

Best regards,
