I have a termbase created on Trados that I want to import into SDL Language Cloud, but language cloud requires it to be in XDT format. As far as I can tell my Termbase doesn't come in such a format, and MultiTerm doesn't have the option to export as XDT either. Am I missing something basic here?

Thanks so much for the help.

You can use Glossary Converter for this purpose. Press Settings-General-Output format-Multiterm xdt+xml-Ok. Then drag and drop your TB. Once done, an xdt file will appear in the same folder.

Yes. An XDT file is the definition file for the termbase. So select "Definition" and save it... not export.
