It's not "CafeTran's method," it's Michael's "method." I for one (hi Tom - no, not you, the one in London), I use my general TMX termbase to add synonyms/alternative translations the DV way, and client/subject specific terms to client/subject specific TMX termbases or the project file for term consistency. And I assign the highest priority to the latter.

Hans,

All that priority nonsense can be achieved right inside a single txt glossary (just use Client and Subject fields). No need to use the crippled TMXs for terminology, and juggle 3000 different little TMXs like you.

And it's not my method. There are two methods of handling synonyms/alternatives in CafeTran (because there are two terminology formats). You use one, I use the other. It's quite simple.

If you want to argue about CafeTran stuff, come do it in our official forum ( [url removed] ). Not here. I'm trying to ask a question about Memsource.
