The Synonyms settings determines how synonyms in entries are converted from and to spreadsheets. There are three formats:

• No synonyms
  If an entry has more than one term per language, only the first one is used
• Full support
  multiple terms are stored in one line, separated by a user defined character or string. If you use a string, you may find it useful to include line breaks by using "\n". For example "|\n" will result in

synonym 1|

synonym 2|

synonym 3

Note: only xlsx/xls. Excel is terrible with newline handling in csv or txt.

• Multi-line format
  each synonym gets its own line. This needs careful planning to work properly, details here: Synonyms in multi-line format. Since the format needs to synchronise on a source language, you can specify one. If left empty, the first language is used. For termbases, that is a random language, so you'd better specify your source language here. 
  You can choose if you want to repeat the source in case of multiple translations. If you select this option, your spreadsheet will look like this:

If you leave it unchecked, it'll look like this:

• Multi-column
  All synonyms are in one row, but each gets its own column. That means that every entry gets as many columns as the entry with the most synonyms. See Multi-column format for more details.
