You can export a limited number of fields of your thesaurus information to .psf file format. PSF file format is provided by Collexis™ and contains these fields of thesaurus:

It also uses the ASCII (8859-1) as its standard code page. So the default Collexis™ .psf file format can support only western European languages.

By selecting the UTF8 radio button in the PSF Format Configuration window, CodeSells Thesaurus Builder produces an enhanced version of the .psf format which can support all languages (see Supported Languages). And also, you can add the description of all languages to the .psf file format by checking the ‘Add description of translations’ on.

Optionally, you can limit the exported information to one or more number of terms status: Candidate, Approval, Provisional and Not Valid.

Notice: The enhanced features are not supported by Collexis™. So, if you want to keep the compatibility with the .psf file format with Collexis™ .psf format, you have to select ASCII and uncheck the ‘Add description of translations’.
