It simply means that it was brought to an end.

Added: However the adjective "terminated" has no legal meaning or significance.

It is the method, or reason by which the trial was terminated that is important to know, before any informative answer can be given.

It can mean a number of things, but simply put the case is over. How it's over is what is uncertain. It could have been settled and dismissed, it could have been withdrawn (sometimes called a non-suit), it could have been dismissed because of a motion to dismiss that a court granted......

Criminal trials are not "terminated." There's other phraseology used which is used officially and which must be known before this question can be answered.

Does probation termination mean the case is done?

It can mean two things. If your probation was "terminated" it usually means that the court ended it short of completion (for some reason) and you are still under the control of the court/criminal justice system, - OR - it could mean that you successfully completed the entire term of your probation and your sentence was served and the case is now concluded. However, in the latter case it is usually referred to as Probation COMPLETED (not terminated). Only YOU know which circumstance applies to you.
