Hi,
I've tried to convert about 100 times a MT5 termbase to MT7 with MultiTerm Convert but each time I try to import the entries I get the same error: no entries are imported.
According to the log, there are character errors:

I've tried to export the MT5 DB content to TXT, I've saved the TXT in Unicode to get sure, I've imported it into a new DB and I've tried to convert this latter DB but no way...

Any idea? ▲ Collapse

Unicode: 0x14.... Jun 8, 2006

isn't that a carriage return character? Means this sucks mega (g).

Try XLS instead. Does not cost much to try - you have everything in a text form anyhow...

Avoid using MT iX if you can Jun 11, 2006

MT iX does not work well with WB: and regularly looses "connection" for Term Recognition.

At the end you are left with working without Term Recognition, and look for terms "by hand"!!
