Hi... I will try to help you out:
1) Is a termbank a glossary?
Yes... it is another application called Trados Multiterm
2) I'd like to be able to do the following: Read over a text, make a list (glossary? termbank?) of words to look up, or to use in order to be consistent, and to be able to look up or have trados find me the terms from my list. How do I:
a) make the list? Do I make it in word and then import it into or open it in trados? If so, how do I do that?
When you reach to the point of learning on how to use Multiterm.. then you will be able to create a Multiterm glossary that performs the tasks you metioned.
b) format the list? Do I type a word or term in one language, hit the / key, tab key, enter key, etc., then type in the other word or term?
No need if you create the glossary directly in Multiterm.
c) how do I look up these terms while I'm doing my translation, or how do I set up trados to show them to me?
In Workbench, go to Options - Terminology Recognition.
Regards!
