Hi,
I'm evaluating if I should go for Studio 2022 and was asking myself if Multiterm is still part of the terminology management system of Studio.

you don’t need MultiTerm for terminology management in Studio. Can you name a single unique task that can be only done with use of MultiTerm?

Not Stepan here but nevertheless replying:
Use Glossary Converter to create termbases: much simpler!
And Trados Studio itself has a nice template to create Bilingual Glossaries (yup, that's what they are called ... in Trados Studio):

So I did actually miss something. But then, Studio is not my everyday workhorse.

I uninstalled MultiTerm three or more years ago when Paul Filkin told me that termbases can still be created and used with Studio alone.

So how and to what format shall I convert my SDLTDs if I don't want to have Multiterm on my system?

Use Glossary Converter to create termbases GC is a useful app, but even so you don’t need neither MultiTerm nor GC to create and use termbases. You can create them from Studio directly.

I will take a look into that when I have some spare time.

If you want to use an existing termbase (from your client or your own), go to Project Settings.....Termbases, click 'Use' and select your existing termbase.
If you want to create a blank termabse for you to add new terms on the go, go to Project Settings.....Termbases, click 'Create' and follow the termbase creation master.
When I need maintenance, like conversion to Excel, etc., I use Glossary Converter.
