Description

Glossary Converter
This is a tool to help translators make use of terminology in SDL Trados Studio. It converts between Excel spreadsheets (or some other glossary formats) and SDL MultiTerm termbases (as required in Trados Studio) with a minimum of effort.

Glossary Plugin
This is a Trados Studio Plugin that makes it easier to add terminology to projects. You can either add a new, empty termbase, or import existing terminology files. It's also possible to export project termbases with a click. The plugin requires Glossary Converter for part of its functionality.

Changes

Version 6.2.8296
  • Added Russian, Swedish and Italian localisation
  • Fields sorted alphabetically, where possible
  • TBX support for V2 Basic
  • Improvement in making generated TBX files conform to standards
  • Loads of tinkering with TBX to preserve data in round trips, handle subfields, and a few bug fixes
  • Better error log for problems with unprocessed Xml
  • Replaced the default field separator from ‖ to ~, since it is easier to read and type. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

  • Fix: when using command line mode to convert to sdltb, and passing in relative file names, the target file was not created
