How to download or export a TextBase from MultiTrans to share offline or append to a local TermBase |
1. Open the MultiTrans Client and select Start Session 2. Select the TextBase you want to export and then click Start If you can't see the TextBase you want to export:
3. Once you are viewing the TextBase, select TextBase Search, Export... and select one of the following options: Export to plain text...This option exports the TextBase as a plain .TXT file where each line contains the alignment number, the source segment, the target segment, the name of the TextBase and the document file name each separated by a tab.
1. Browse to the folder where you'd like to save the file, name it and then click Save: Export to TMX/Word file...The Translation Memory Exchange (TMX) format is a standard format for sharing Translation Memories with users of other Translation Memory software. Exporting to a Word file will create a side-by-side table in a Word document.
1. Select either TMX or Word from the Export Type drop-down list: 2. Click the folder icon and select where you want to save the file. Click Save: 3. The Alignments dropdown allows you to choose whether to include all alignments or only the alignments which have been confirmed: 4a. To specify the name of the language to use in the exported file you can type the name of each language that you wish to export in the Languages tab: 4bi. Instead of typing the name of each language, you can alternatively provide a TMX language list file. This is a simple text file (.TXT), which can be created using the standard Windows Notepad application, containing a list of languages using the format language-code=Language Name. Here is an example list file which contains regional variants of English and French, each on a new line: 4bii. Click the folder icon next to TMX language list file option, find your list file and click Save: 4biii. The language selection drop-down lists will then be populated using the provided list file: 5. Once you are ready to export the TMX or Word file, click Save. Once the export has finished, a new window will appear showing the exported file: Export to TAUS file...This option is very similar to the Export to TMX/Word file option (see previous section for details).

This will not allow you to append to a TermBase on a server.1a.

From the list of TermBases, click on the desired TermBase in the list and click on the Select button to append the TextBase to the selected TermBase: |
