Can somebody tell me how to use it or how to convert the file? I know that you can convert it doing some steps (adding a ** column, etc., but I don't remember how exactly).
Thanks a lot in advance!! ▲ Collapse

Which MultiTerm version? Mar 16, 2004

Hi Rocío,
You didn't indicate which MT version you want to use - the procedures are different.

The conversion procedure for MT 5/5.5 is explained in this article on the Trados Knowledge Base.

MTiX comes with a separate import utility (MTConvert) where the import process is supported by a wizard.

HTH, Ralf
