Some questions regarding SDL TMS, SDL MultiTerm and integrations:
1. Is SDL MultiTerm included in SDL TMS?
2. In case it is, does it also function for the online version of SDL TMS?
3. Is there an API/SDK to integrate with both of these? Can you share some info on how it works. If it is a plugin or a web service.
Thank you
Hi Stefanos,
1. SDL Multiterm Server is part of another SDL product called GroupShare. You can find more details on docs.sdl.com.
GroupShare is made up of 3 components:
2. TMS and the Multiterm Server part of GroupShare can function together as they have support baked in to the products to do so. If you are translating using the Online Editor with TMS you can search terms in a Multiterm termbases seamlessly.
3. Both TMS and GroupShare now have RESTful APIs but because its already baked in to this products you would need to do anything with it just configure your TMS to connect to your Multiterm server under the menu path of Setup >Terminology.
What Versions of TMS and Multiterm are you dealing with?
Thanks
Ryan
Terminology Provider API for Studio enable the developer to create a plugin for Trados Studio. The API leverage the standard Trados Studio UI for the segement search and offers the ability to create a custom term viewer (displayed instead of the default MultiTerm Viewer). Also the Quick Add and Add term are working via the API.
Technical documentation for the Trados Studio API's is available here (including the Terminology Provider API). The documentation covers a simple provider implementation. For something more complex you can have a look here. This is a Terminology Provider implementation that gives the user the ability to use excel as a terminology database (if this looks a bit unusual have a look here).
In GS 2017 we also have a REST API for terminology stored inside the product. The documentation for this is available with the product. We also have a client library that makes things simpler in terms of consuming the REST API.
