DVX2/3

Creation of a DVX2/3 Termbase:

Using the Windows File Exporer, copy the file DVX-IATE-bilingual-template.dvtdt from the DVX file set to
%ProgramData%\ATRIL\Déjà Vu X2\Templates\Termbase if you use DVX2, or %ProgramData%\ATRIL\Déjà Vu X3\Templates\Termbase if you use DVX3

Start DVX3
(The process when using DVX2 is very similar and differs only in that separate wizards are used)

  • Select File > New > Termbase
  • Specify Name and Location of the new termbase; click Next
  • Select “DVX IATE bilingual template” from the list of Templates; click Close
  • Select the Source Language and the Target Language according to the Termbase csv you want to import
  • Select the Text import icon (utmost left icon) from the Menu EXTERNAL DATA
  • Specify File Name and Location: browse to the downloaded file set and select (IATE_[lang1]_[lang2]_TB_*.csv) ; click Next
  • Specify Tab as Text Delimiter, check First Row Contains Field Names; click Next
  • For each Field from the list of Fields that will be imported:
    The code Page should be selected as Unicode (UTF-8)
  • Required fields are the second and the third field, representing the source language and its translation, respectively.
  • So the second field needs to be imported as Main Lemma, and its language needs to be selected.
  • Likewise the third field needs to be imported as Translation for the language(code) of the second field.
  • All other fields are optional.
  • Concept-id may be imported as Concept for All Lemmas
  • subjectField may be imported as Subject for All Lemmas
  • Context may be imported as Context for All Lemmas
  • reliabilityCode may be imported as Reliability Code for the respective language
  • adminStat may be imported as adminStat for the respective language
  • termType may be imported as adminStat for the respective language
  • termType may be imported as termType for the respective language
  • When import for all Fields is specified, click Next; click Next again

Now the terms are imported
