How to Improve Termbase Search Results

SDL Trados Studio performs a termbase search when a segment becomes the active row or you can choose to manually perform a termbase search. Settings are available to change what results are returned and also change the way that the termbase is searched to improve performance.

How to Add a Termbase

You can use SDL Trados Studio to work with termbases created in SDL MultiTerm. See the MultiTerm online Help for information about Creating a Termbase.

Supported Termbase Formats

You can search and add terms to MultiTerm termbases in SDL Trados Studio. If you have MultiTerm installed, you can create a termbase using that application. SDL MultiTerm is a separate application.
