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.
