Hi

I got a bilingual Excel sheet containing UI and (error) messages.

Should I convert it into Trados translation memory or multiterm database?

What seems to be the best practice?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

I'd go for Multiterm, since the error messages could be part of a sentence in the text you are translating. And even if the entire segment is a message, inserting them is easy when they are in Multiterm.
