Using the SYSTRAN Customization Wizard
SYSTRAN Customization Wizard allows you to exploit your files and emails to significantly
improve the quality of your translations.
Using files you select from any location including email folders, with language pairs that you
specify, the SYSTRAN Customization Wizard extracts and analyzes the text contained in
your data to build two types of linguistic resources, Wizard User Dictionaries (Wizard UDs)
and Language Models. These generated resources are saved as Profiles and are accessible
for use via SYSTRAN Global Options. They can be used to fine-tune subsequent translations
and, to varying degrees they can be reviewed and modified using SYSTRAN Dictionary
Manager (SDM), allowing you to further adapt SYSTRAN machine translation to your needs.
SYSTRAN Customization Wizard Linguistic Resources
The linguistic resources generated by the SYSTRAN Configuration Wizard include Wizard
User Dictionaries (Wizard UDs) and Target Language Models.
Wizard User Dictionaries (WUDs) are terminology dictionaries, similar to standard User
Dictionaries (UDs).You can apply them to your Profiles via the SYSTRAN Global Options
dialog in the same manner as UDs (refer to Activating a Dictionary and Changing the Order of
the Domains and Dictionaries). You cannot add entries to a WUD, however you can modify
these resources and delete entries from them using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM).
Two types of WUDs can be generated for a source language pair, one containing Source
Category entries (entries that do not have a meaning in the target language pair, serving
instead to influence the analysis of source sentences for words with POS ambiguities) and
one that contains all other types of dictionary entry types (Do Not Translate, Normal, etc.)
Language Models can be employed one at a time via the SYSTRAN Global Options
dialog (refer to Language Models). Resources of this type cannot be edited, however you
can delete Language Models using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM).
