Multiterm Termbase

Multiterm Termbase

Unlike previous versions, the new Multiterm 2009 allows the user to select where to store the termbases. In my opinion’, working directly with Multiterm 2009 termbases is much better and allows more flexibility over the termbases.

Converting a Multiterm 2007 termbase (mdb file) into a Multiterm 2009 termbase (sdltb file) is very easy to do. But since the new termbases create additional files (just like Trados TM’s), the best approach is to place each termbase into a single folder. Here’s how to do it:

First chapter of José Saramago’s new novel: Cain

Oct 14

Posted by Claudia Alvis in Blog | 2 Comments

Cain (Caín in Spanish, Caim in Portuguese), the highly anticipated new book by Nobel-laureate José Saramago will hit the shelves on October 15th. With this book, Saramago takes up the topic of “god”, 18 years after The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.

The book starts with: “”Cuando el señor, también conocido como dios, se dio cuenta de que a adán y eva, perfectos en todo lo que se mostraba a la vista, no les salía ni una palabra de la boca ni emitían un simple sonido, por primario que fuera, no tuvo otro remedio que irritarse consigo mismo, ya que no había nadie más en el jardín del edén a quien responsabilizar de la gravísima falta…”

The first chapter in Spanish has been made public (officially), it can be read at elpais.com.
