Creating a Term During Translation

During the translation, you can quickly and easily add a source or target-language term to crossTerm directly from crossDesk. Distinction is made between the creation of a new entry and the addition of a term translation.

Adding a New Entry

  1. Proceed as follows:
  2. Select a source-language term in the Context View and the target-language term in the Target Editor.
  3. Click the icn_cDesk_te_in-cTerm-kopieren icon in the toolbar of the Target Editor.

    You can also add a source and a target language term to the terminology simultaneously. To do this, select the desired terms successively in the Context View and the Target Editor.

    After you click the icn_cDesk_te_in-cTerm-kopieren icon, the crossTerm Manager will open in a separate window. The entry will be created, and the term or term pair will be added.

  4. Define the entry and click icn_cTeM_term_ersten-hinzufuegenAdd first term.
  5. To do this, select all needed information and click Save and Next for each term.
  6. The new term or term pair will be displayed. You can then close the crossTerm Manager and return to crossDesk.

An option under Tools > User Settings > crossDesk > crossTerm allows the step for creating the entry to be skipped. If the option is activated, the default entry template will automatically be used. Moreover, the option will only apply if no mandatory fields – i.e. data categories that must be processed in order to save the entry – are defined in the default entry template. If mandatory fields are defined, the step for the creation of the entry will be displayed even if the option is activated.

Creating a Term Translation

  1. Proceed as follows:
  2. In the crossTerm window, select the term for which you would like to add a translation.
  3. If you have already inserted a translation in the Target Editor: Select the term that you would like to add as the translation of an existing term.
  4. In the crossTerm window, click icn_cDesk_cTerm_uebersetzung-hinzufuegen in order to open the crossTerm Manager with the term input dialog.
  5. The reference term that you selected in the crossTerm window is shown on the left-hand window. If you had selected a term in the Target Editor, it will automatically be inserted as term translation on the right-hand side. Otherwise, enter the term translation on the right-hand side.
  6. Configure the needed settings for the term.
  7. To add further term translations, click Save and Next and enter the next term translation.
  8. Finally, click Save and Close.
  9. The entry will be displayed with all terms. You can now close the crossTerm Manager and return to crossDesk.
