Hello Jacques,
I don't think you can get several terms to show in the terminology window at the same time, but you can change the term that appears by pressing 'alt' plus the direction

This is a fascinating question.

Hi Christian,
It was one of those difficult times when you have a lot of work to deliver soon and you start to get problems with the software, so in fact I had to find a workaround
In your position I would take it.
Why not see if you can arrange for a more experienced translator to proofread it for you before you submit it, as some of the other posters have al
Hi again Languageman,
Are you wanting to be able to get your terms from your MultiTerm termbase into your TagEditor document as you translate without having to cut and paste them?
Alternatively you could use MultiTerm Convert to convert your Excel file into a MultiTerm .xml file.
Then create your Termbase with MultiTerm and import your .xml file.
You will then
Alternatively you could export your entire database as a tab-delimited file, then open it as a .txt file.
This will give you quick access to a full list of all your terms. You can also

If I were you I'd be very careful.
We hear so much about identity theft these days, although I'm sure your potential client wouldn't dream of such a thing.
Good luck

I contacted Trados support.
I edited my filter settings recently, which apparently led to this problem as it created some kind of conflict with the patch regarding the dates of the .xml

I would agree with other contributors that you need to have a much larger client base in order to protect yourself
I came up with 'red spanner', same as Alison, who incidentally translates in the same two language combinations as I do. Wonder if there's any connection?
But 'spanner' and 'hammer' do

I think I had a similar problem. Maybe you should check that the names at the head of each column in the .xls file are exactly identical to the names of the 'index fields' in the termbase
On second thoughts, I don't think the answer I gave you had anything to do with what you were looking for! I do hope you get it sorted out anyway. Personally, I would simply edit the MS
