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.
Looking up a Term in Microsoft Office
To look up a term in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook), enter
it in the box on the SYSTRAN Toolbar and then press Enter. A list of
meanings is displayed in the Lookup tab of the expanded Translation Toolbar.
