memoQ 9: Add Term

Allows you to create a new term base entry in the TB selected as the target for new terms.

If you have selected a word or an expression in a source segment when activating Add Term, it will populate the source language field automatically.
If you have selected a word or an expression in a target segment when activating Add Term, it will populate the target language field automatically.
You can make selections in both source and target fields simultaneously, or no selection at all.
Note that unless your terms are proper nouns or abbreviations, all terms should be in lower case.
To add, edit or delete entries, use the blue plus, orange box or red minus buttons. You can also add alternative terms.
Default shortcut key: Ctrl+E.

You can and should add a variety of data with your term entry:

The entry-level data covers the whole term entry. The metadata will be automatically copied from the project and will rarely need editing. You can add a Note if the term entry requires additional information.
Among the term-specific data, the match setting and case sensitivity settings on the Matching tab is the most important and must be set immediately.
Under Usage, you can enter a usage example. You can also tick a box to make the term forbidden.
Under Grammar, you can set the part of speech, genus and numerus of a term, if it is required for understanding.
Under Definition, you can enter a definition of the term. Note that this information is specific for the term in that language, while entry-level Notes cover the whole entry.
