How to extract terminology from projects

Guidelines

  1. You need to have the Administrator role, to be able to perform terminology extraction. To actually perform terminology extraction, click on the Configuration → Settings → Translation → TerminologyTerminology options, and selecting the checkbox next to Run Terminology extraction, in the Permit column. Use the checkbox in the Default setting column to specify whether this option is active by default for projects. Click the Save button.

 

  1. When you create a project, the Run Terminology extraction option is visible in the Settings. You can change it from its default setting.

  1. After the project has been created and file analysis has finished, go to Projects → Project list → (select a project and click on its context menu) → Download Extracted terms.

  1. Complete the terminology list by editing the downloaded Excel file. Add translations for extracted terms in the columns with the appropriate language code heading or delete rows with unnecessary entries.
