Good morning,

I received some glossaries in .xdt format. Is there any way I can convert them in csv or xls?
Thanks a lot for your help!

XDT is just the definition file Apr 15, 2014

Hi Sara,

You have hopefully also got the xml file containing the terms with this?

If so, the easiest way is probably this:

  1. Create a MultiTerm termbase based on your XDT file
  2. Import the XML that is based on that XDT in MultiTerm
  3. Use the Glossary Converter (free OpenExchange app) to convert the MultiTerm termbase to Excel

There may be other way... in fact there are... but if it was me this is what I'd do as it's quite straightforward.

Regards
