Using this command, you can add a new term pair into the primary term base directly from the translation document. You can add terms both to local and remote term bases, unless the term base is read only.Term bases, unlike translation memories, can be multilingual, but during translation, you can only add entries in the project’s languages.To speed up the creation of the new entry, you can select a part of the text in the source segment and a part of the text in the target segment, and they automatically appear in the relevant fields.
The Create term base entry dialog has a simple, a shrinked, a medium and an extended view. You can switch between these views by clicking the More >> button to expand or the Less << button to shrink the dialog, but you cannot switch back to the simple view after you have extended it as its bottom section is now incorporated in the longer views. If you click OK, memoQ will memorize the view used, and will offer the same view next time you invoke this dialog.
Simple view
Shrinked view
Medium view
Extended view Invoking You can invoke the Create term base entry dialog from the translation editor by choosing Create term base entry in the context menu appearing after you right-click the selected term, by pressing Ctrl+E after selecting the entry, or by clicking the  icon in the toolbar. If you want to add definitions and notes to the terms, press the More>> button to se the longer version of the dialog.
Editing the entry in the simple view The editing interface is either empty when you start the process, or pre-filled with the term base entry if you have selected it on the source and/or the target side.
Type the source term in the Lemma box on the left, and the target term in the Lemma box on the right.
| · | Prefix matching: Use this drop-down list to set the applicable prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry. You can choose from the following options:
|
| o | Yes: Use this value to set the prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry as very sensible. In case of project memoQ will find both project, projects and projectapplication.
|
| o | 50% minimum: Use this value to set the prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry as permissive. This is the default setting. In case of project memoQ will find both project and projects, but it will not find projectapplication.
|
| o | No: Use this value to set the prefix matching sensitivity of the selected term base entry as insensible. In case of project memoQ will find project but it will not find projects and projectapplication.
|
| o | Custom: Use this value to allow wildcards in the term base. Use the pipe (|) to specify the beginning of a variable part in a word, or use the asterisk (*) to specify that anything can come after the last character. If your term is Wassert|urm, memoQ will find Wasserturm and Wassertürme but it will not find Wasserschutz. You can enter several words with pipes and asterisks. For example bankovn|í operac|e will retrieve bankovních operací and bankovními operacemi as well.If you enter at least one pipe or asterisk in the term, this setting will automatically switch to Custom.
|
Regardless of the settings, memoQ will not find any hits where the selected term base entry is not at the start of the expression, i.e. it is not a prefix of the expression.
| · | Case sensitivity: Use this drop-down list to set the case sensitivity of the selected term base entry. You can choose from the following options:
|
| o | Yes: Use this value to set the case sensitiv
ity of the selected term base entry to sensitive. Either the term contains small caps, capital letters or both, later it will be offered as a translation result only if the same word, strictly typed in the very same way, occurs in the source document. For example, if you create a new term base entry for the name Will, it is worth setting its case sensitivity to ‘Yes’ as you probably do not want it as a translation result every time a segment is written in future tense.
|
| o | Permissive: Use this value to set case sensitivity to No for small caps and Yes for capital letters in the source text. This is the default setting; it means, for example, that you enter the word it and its translation to the term base, and memoQ will offer this translation when it, It or IT appears in the source text. However, if the source text contains IT as the shortening for Information Technology, you do not need to check the large number of hits containing the word it or It as memoQ will only present translation results that contain the abbreviation in very same way.
|
| o | No: Use this value to set the case sensitivity of the selected term base entry to insensitive. No matter how the term is typed in the source text, the results will include the same term written either in small caps or in capital letters, or both. Case is simply not relevant with this setting.
|
| · | Forbidden term: Check this check box to set the selected term to forbidden. If a source term is set to forbidden, it will not appear on the Translation results pane. If a target term is set to forbidden, it will appear on the Translation results pane in black.
|
