Resource Console - Term bases

A term base is a database that contains pairs of words or expressions (together: terms) in several languages. Each term represents an object or a concept. A term can have a definition, an example, and an image, as well as many other details about the object and also about the term itself. In translation, term bases are used like a glossary where you can look for terms that are relevant to your translation work.

A term base is multilingual: One term base can work with all languages in a project, even if the project has two or more target languages. The term base must include every language of the project. If you add a term base to the project, memoQ will add missing languages.

To learn more about adding a term base to a project: See the documentation articles about the Project home - Term bases and memoQ online project - Term bases windows.
