Options dialog box
Using the SYSTRAN Toolbar
The following procedure describes the typical use of the SYSTRAN Toolbar:
1. Select a source language from the dropdown list. The source languages available in this
list depend on the language packs installed and activated on your PC.
You can enable Language Detection in the Options settings (refer to
Setting
Your Global Options) to have SYSTRAN 7 automatically detect the source
language.
2. SYSTRAN 7 will show the last target language used for the selected source language in
the target language dropdown list. Select from the list if you want to translate the text into
a different language.
The target languages available in this list depend on the language packs
installed and the source language you selected.
Double-click the language pair arrow between the language selection buttons to
reverse the source/target language selection.
3. Click the Translate button to perform the translation. A progress bar appears in the lower
right of the screen to show translation progress. Click
to cancel the translation.
Using the Lookup Feature
The Lookup feature lets you search for meanings of a language term in the following
dictionaries:
• SYSTRAN Main Dictionary
• SYSTRAN Specialized Dictionaries
• User Dictionaries (UD)
• Additional Dictionaries: depending on the product you have installed and the selected
language pair, you may also have access to third-party electronic dictionaries on your
PC.
When you perform a lookup on a term, the software looks for it in the selected
language pair dictionaries as well as the reverse language pair dictionaries. This
allows you to use the Lookup tool as a translation assistant to provide several
meanings for source terms or, when revising a translation, to verify that the meaning
proposed by SYSTRAN corresponds with the meaning in the source text.
