I have SDL Trados 2006 and installed for the first time 6.2.0.287. The customer send me a lot of glossary files with the above extensions. How can I get them into MT? This is all very confusing and I'm in a hurry with the project. Seems I have to do it without the glossaries. Is there a possibility to convert them into plain text?
Thanks for simple hints. Regards Heinrich

Use MT Convert

Hi Heinrich,
I have SDL Trados 2006 and installed for the first time 6.2.0.287.
I take it you're referring to MultiTerm, right?
The customer send me a lot of glossary files with the above extensions. How can I get them into MT?
MTW is the old file format used with MultiTerm 5.x (.mta and .mdf are associated index files). Use MultiTerm Convert to convert them into MT6.x/7.x-compliant XML format.
The conversion process yields two files: .xdt - use this database definition to create your termbase .xml - import this file into your newly-created termbase
HTH, Ralf

When I cooled down a ran through the tutorial and managed to convert and install the termbase and import the entries, but unfortunately they are worthless. I had to decline the job. But next time I know what to do.
