Segment level language setting
When I clicked "Add record" in the Global Search page, I found a field showing "All languages." When I clicked the down-arrow button, it showed the language pair we use, i.e. Japanese and English.
When I exported a test entry to Excel, I got English/xxx and Japanese/xxx but it is a little confusing.
Where can I find explanations about this feature?
What we originally setup our termbase, the language distinction was not available, I believe, and we setup Japanese Definition and English Definition for the same source language. Now it seems like we have English/English Definition, English/Japanese Definition, Japanese/English Definition and so on.
Is there an easy way to clean up our existing records so that all custom field info goes under the right languages and/or could we keep using "All language" as a default and hide the language selection when users edit the segment level information for memory and terminology?

Hello,
unfortunately, we cannot implement a way to prevent single languages from being shown to users. Since you have been working with custom fields for very long now, what I suggest you do is keep using those for language specific definitions/comments, otherwise as you say you will get an unclear Excel export.
The other alternative would be to clear your records manually, removing them from custom fields and placing definitions in the correct languages, but that is indeed a very time consuming business.
I hope this helps
Best,
