Marking Headwords
SDM analyzes phrases entered in the UD and recognizes the keyword in each phrase. These
keywords are called Headwords.
SYSTRAN 7 looks at the headwords when it is determining which word in a term should be
made plural, a specific gender, or receive other linguistic treatment.
To vie w the headwords in your dictionary, select Mark Headwords on the View menu. The
part of the phrase that has been analyzed as the headword will be in boldface. Examples
include panel in “control panel” and menu in “start menu”.
Finding Dictionary Entries

PC.
