Translating Via Web Browser
SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6 users can employ any web browser (Internet Explorer,
Firefox) to easily translate web pages, input text, and a large array of different file types
(.txt, .rtf, .doc, .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, pdf, .or .html). Also, SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6
now provides users with RSS feeds translation and email translation.
Exploiting SYSTRAN Dictionary Resources
The SYSTRAN Enterprise Server 6’s web interface allows users to draw on various
resources to greatly improve translation quality, including built-in SYSTRAN general
and specialized Dictionaries, User Dictionaries (UDs), Translation Memories (TMs),
and Normalization Dictionaries (NDs).
• Five built-in SYSTRAN Dictionaries are provided with SYSTRAN Enterprise
Server 6, containing terms that are associated with industry, business, life
sciences, physical sciences, and colloquial usage.
• User Dictionaries (UDs) consist of terms that are specific to an industry and/or
company, as well as terms that are designated Do Not Translate (DNT).
Created using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM), these custom
dictionaries are used to further improve translation results.
• Translation Memories (TMs) are databases of pre-translated sentences.
These sentences are matched to the source text during the translation
process, and when appropriate they automatically replace previously
translated sentences.
• Normalization Dictionaries (NDs) provide a way to regulate text both before
and after translation, serving as a means for standardizing terminology and
expanding abbreviations and acronyms. NDs can also be used to standardize
spellings and to establish common terminology (e.g., instances in which two or
more words are used for the same concept).
Create, edit, and administer dictionaries using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager
(SDM), available in SYSTRAN Application Packs (Expert Tools).
