Hello,

I have terminology databases in Multiterm that I use in Trados. Quite often, although the terminology database contains the term used in the translation, the word does not appear automatically. Generally, in this case, I create a new terminology database into which I copy the old one, and then everything starts again as before. Isn't there a more normal way of avoiding this bug? And what (if anything) I did that caused this bug? Reorganizing does not change anything.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot. ▲ Collapse

my advice: use memoQ instead, or any CAT tool that has a functional terminology system Dec 11, 2023

This is a very, very long-standing bug that will probably not be fixed until they finally decide to modernise the underlying technology used for Trados termbases, which are basically legacy MultiTerm termbases.

I have been asking/begging them to fix this for maybe 10 years now!

For a laugh, search their forums at:

• https://community.rws.com/product-groups/trados-portfolio/trados-studio/f/multiterm

Or just google something like: trados termbase not showing terms

This is a massive problem, and they just don't seem to be able to fix it.

Another approach: https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/59

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWJSquzRrg

Tested with a project with 8500 words and a glossary with 10500 term pairs: works like a charm.

Best of all: it's a free plug-in.
