Terminology database groups are a means of associating
multiple term databases under a single organizational unit. A terminology
database group offers the choice for looking up a text in multiple terminology
databases at once.
A terminology database group consists of one of more
Lookup
TDs, used for searching, and a single
Update TD for saving translations.
Each one of the Lookup TDs has a different priority within the terminology
database group. The Update TD can be any of the terminology databases available
in WorldServer, and does not need to belong to the group.
For example, terminology database groups typically are
used for associating terminology databases of related languages like Spanish-Mexico
or Spanish-Argentina, where it would be useful to perform lookups in more
than one terminology database at once.
Another typical use is for grouping a read-only terminology
database and a write-only terminology database. The read-only terminology
database would be a master terminology database that has all entries reviewed
and presumed to be correct. On the other hand, the write-only terminology
database will hold only new translations that require review before being
imported into the master terminology database.
You can add, modify or delete terminology database groups.
