Note

If the API changes in an incompatible manner this is listed explicitly in the "important release notes" section of each releases changelog.

Currently there are five ways to import terminology into translate5:

  1. Importing a task with terminology into translate5 for editing
    → this is not covered here, since that terminology currently can not be searched in the termportal.
  2. Import a TBX file in the translate5 GUI in the language resources panel. For explanation of options please read below the options of "file-system based term import", as the options are the same.
  3. Provide TBX files with the terminology → use file-system based import
  4. Get TBX files from Across via crossApi
  5. SFTP-directory based

Depending on which way the terminology should be imported, the TermImport Plug-In must be configured.

The configuration files are located

File-system based term import

It is also possible to To import a TBX file files from the file system into translate5s termCollections use the file-system based import.

For this a configuration file maps the TermCollection name with the file name of the TBX and the collection name with the customer number. In addition the config file defines the import directory, where the files are read from.
