Importing to Multiterm Thread poster: JennyItaly

I firstly apologise if this is a repeated question: I did try to read through the various forums but I must be extra dumb this morning.
I have Trados 6.5
MultitermiX 6.01
I have some glossaries in Excel which I have not succeeded in importing.
So I imported them in Access : exported an .xml file as follows
two colums - one headed ITALIAN one headed ENGLISH.
I used Multiterm as follows:
-Import Entries
-Default Import definition
- Process

- Browse to file
- named exclusion file
- and EACH time I get 0 processed.
I have seen many talk about MT-Convert - I only have MT Migrate is that possible ?
Thanks in advance -

| Outdated version | Dec 8, 2005 |
Hi Jenny,
The problem is that you are using an outdated version of MultiTerm - this was replaced by 6.2.0 in the summer of 2003. The old version of MT Convert did not support the conversion of Excel-based files (that was one of the major reasons for the change, BTW).
Have a look at TranslationZone: there are various upgrades and patches for MT6.
HTH, Ralf

Well that would be an excellent reason !
So I suppose that also applies to .xml files created in Access ?
Doesn't read those either
I will try to update asap.
Thank you very much for your help

| XML definition | Dec 8, 2005 |
Hi again,

It doesn't matter which application you use - as long as you don't apply the XML structure used by MultiTerm (as defined in MTF-schema.xml), you cannot import. If you're familiar with XML, and you know how to use a schema, you can use a text editor to create an import file. Using MultiTerm Convert is much easier...
Best regards,
Ralf

| Italian English not ITALIAN ENGLISH | Dec 8, 2005 |
I once had repeated failures when loading an Excel spreadsheet into MT because the languages were in capital letters, e.g. ITALIAN ENGLISH.
Finally I changed to exactly what is in MT - e.g. Italian English - and it worked.

Thank you I did that while I am waiting for IT to get the update:
but it didn't accept it.
I get an error in txt file when I try to import which says :
Fatal Error at (file C:\TRAD\GLOSSARY.txt, line 3609, column 1): The input ended before all started tags were ended. Last tag started was 'English'.
I followed a tutorial from here to change excel into txt and all my entries are as follows:
**

Accessories

Accollato... See more Thank you I did that while I am waiting for IT to get the update:

but for no (apparent) reason it blocks with that error 4 from the end.
I cancelled some : but it gives the same error again.
Maybe I will just have to wait for the update to come through.
Thanks very much

| Not MTiX import format | Dec 8, 2005 |
Hi again,
You appear to have used an outdated tutorial; this looks like the import format for MultiTerm 5.x.
Best regards,
Ralf

| Don't use pointed brackets in the forum | Dec 8, 2005 |
Hi again,
Sorry it also missed out all the 'Italian' etc. when pasting.
Don't use pointed brackets in the forum - as these are also used for forum commands, the content will not be shown. Still, it was enough to recognise the MT5.x import format...
Cheers, Ralf
