I'd some search in Internet but not found answer.

I have problem with Multiterm file. I was exported GERMAN-ESTONIAN bilingual excel file and was make an Multiterm file. All working well, except that some

In Multiterm they looks like this https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME75EN6

And in Trados Studio results look like this: https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME75EN7

And question - is it possible to format rows, so they will appear in Studio not as one long row, but two or three short rows?

Use pipe for synonyms or equivalents Jan 29, 2022

A termbase in Trados is not a dictionary but just a glossary. You should only add equivalents and exclude descriptions, part of speech, or any other auxiliary details.
Put it simply:
term = tähtaeg
If you want a second, a third, ... an nth equivalent, use the pipe character in your Excel file:
term = tähtaeg|väljend|ajavahemik
Once converted, this term would have 3 instances:
term = tähtaeg
term = väljend
term = ajavahemik
