Double entries in glossaries

In the job I'm doing right now it sometimes happens that new entries (completely new for that glossary) get listed twice. They are exactly the same in everything. The mistery is that this doesn't happen always.


What are you intending to achieve by adding the plural too, but only singular in the target? There are better ways
Ouch, you meant that selection...!

Then yes, it could be that I inserted a term in the Glossary window, selected it in order to copy it into the target segment, and saved the glossary entry - duplicating it without knowing.

I will pay more attention to this in the future.
Thanks!!

It's just to see the general meaning of a term. In Italian we have masculine, feminine, singular, plural forms... I prefer to have a single translation in the glossary and adjust the target text as needed.

You can install the spellchecker for your SL and tick this box:

For single word entries, stemming will take place:

I actually tried the stemming function in the past, but since I work with many composite words and long glossary terms, I often ended up with non-relevant suggestions. Therefore I decided the current approach works best for me. Thank you for your suggestion!

You're welcome.


Perhaps you want to consider entering term pairs like this:

The duplication can be done via a very simple macro. Amazing that Italian doesn't have neutral nouns!

Like I guess every language with Latin origins - feminine and masculine are enough, believe me :D

Thank you for your additional suggestion!
