Most efficient way to merge TermStar duplicates? Thread poster: Iris Kleinophorst

Hi,
does anyone know an efficient way to merge duplicates in TermStar? I have customer terminology dbs containing thousand of entries, and a lot among them are duplicates. I have already reimported the dictionaries and extracted all entries that are completely identical via the import menu. However, many of them are duplicates with differing target language entries that I would like to keep. But they clutter up my dictionary window during translation.

I have already reimported the dictionaries and extracted all entries that are completely identical via the import menu. However, many of them are duplicates with differing target language entries that I would like to keep. But they clutter up my dictionary window during translation.
For smaller databases, I usually just filter the duplicates and merge them manually by copying and inserting. For these thousands of entries, this does not seem to be realistic.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Hi Iris,
Have you tried using Termstar?
If you open Termstar and then go
Wörterbücher (the button 'Glossaries' down to the left) -> Wörterbucher/Datenbanken ->

Import/Export ->
Daten einarbeiten/hinzufügen (merge/add) ->
Doppelte Datensätze einarbeiten, neue Datensätze hinzufügen (merge duplicates, add new entries) ->
Neu (the button New to the right of the inset window) ->
Choose the field that Termstar should check to decide whether the entry is a duplicate; probably you will first expand the source language, then expand "Eintrag" (entry), select "Benennung" (term?, 'the word(s)') ->
Click "Definieren" (define) ->
Check the setting boxes you want ->
Verkställ (execute - the button to the right in the bottom line) ->
Ok -> Give it a name ->
Select the file to import (the file format might be troublesome) ->
Start
Open the glossary to check whether it works.
My 2 öre

I used to treat them as 'synonyms' and imported the lines in the format:
source term TAB CHARACTER target one|target two|target three
I must have this import definition somewhere.
But first, you'll have to get from your raw data to this import format.
You can use Excel for this.
