Hi everybody, Could someone share their experience and suggest good practices to eliminate duplicate entries from term bases either from within MemoQ or in an external way? Many thanks in advance for any clue. Cheers. | | | Recep Kurt Türkiye Local time: 04:53 Member (2011) English to Turkish + ... Goldpan Editor | Jan 20, 2021 |
This free utility allows you to open TMX, SDLTM, XLIFF, SDLXLIFF, TBX files and filter the contents (find the duplicates) etc. https://logrusglobal.com/goldpan.html (you need to have a 64-bit Windows OS, though) | | | pjg111 Local time: 03:53 English to French TOPIC STARTER How to easily remove duplicate entries from a TB? | Jan 20, 2021 |

If you know your way around Excel, you can export the TB as an .xlsx and manipulate it en Excel, being mindful of the formatting, of course, which is fairly straighforward. The you reimport your clean Excel file into a new, empty TB.

Actually I had tried the feature but I did not mention it in my previous replies. While it allowed me to achieve the desired result, Excel route may be easier and give me a better insight on my TB records. Anyway I warmly thank all those who replied my query and made helpful suggestions.
