MultiTerm Group Project
  • Automotive Drive Train Terminology
  • Spring Semester, 2006

Setting up the Termbase Folder
  • Task: Replace the MultiTerm Termbase folder on your C drive with a Termbase Folder containing drive train terminology.
  • On a stand-alone machine, the termbase folder can hold all your data and you come back to it every day.
  • On our C drives, the Termbase folder is wiped clean every day.
  • Ergo: you must save the Termbase folder on the G drive to protect it and to enable you to retrieve it whenever you might need it.

Replacing the Termbases Folder
  • Right click on the existing Termbases folder and rename it, e.g., Termbases_default
  • Go to the G drive and find the Termbases folder on the G drive: G://60011/DriveTrainStarter/Termbases
  • Copy this folder to your path: Documents and Settings / All Users / Application Data / TRADOS / MultiTerm / …
  • Copy and do not CUT or MOVE !!!!!!!

Load MultiTerm
  • Once the Termbase folder is in place, you can load the program. Be sure you have it in the right place, and that the name is precisely Termbases. Otherwise the program won’t work properly.
  • If you have renamed the Termbases folder in your Grads directory, rename it to Termbases once you have it on the C drive.

Backup, Save & Export
  • Remember that anything you do on the C drive will be Deep Freezed into oblivion tomorrow at 5:00 am or whenever the machine is rebooted.
  • Protect yourself by:
    • Saving the important components of your file (termbase definition & input model)
    • Exporting your data (term data & images)
    • Saving your own Termbase folder on the C drive

Word Export
  • One of the nifty things you can do is to save your data to an RTF file you can view and process in Word.
  • Remember that your images are called from the term file, but don’t reside inside it, so if you want them in your Word file, you will have to add them later.
  • Start as for your xml export, but select “Word Dictionary Export”
