Hello,

probably this might seem like an easy question to many of you, but being a beginner here I have been struggling today to start using SDLXLite Edit that a translation agency has provided me with for a translation.

Hello,

probably this might seem like an easy question to many of you, but being a beginner here I have been struggling today to start using SDLXLite Edit that a translation agency has provided me with for a translation. Now they have gone home for the day, so I have nobody to ask about what to do with the terminology file they have sent me before.

Anyone who could help me out about how to open this file within the SDLX so I can see the terminology dictionary already made? As in the notepad version it's all very compact.

Thanks,

Katarina. ▲ Collapse

- files with the ending .mdb
these are the translation memories

- files with the ending .tdb
these are the glossaries in Termbase format

I have never received a .txt file to work with so far.

Good luck!
