Using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM)
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM) lets you create, and maintain User Dictionaries (UDs),
which can be used to customize and improve your translations.
Dictionary resources can be used for a number of functions, including:
• Translating terms not found in the SYSTRAN Main Dictionary.
• Overriding the target-language meaning of a term in the SYSTRAN Main Dictionary to
customize translation output.
• Ensuring that a multi-word expression is always treated as a single unit by the translation
software.
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager is available in the following SYSTRAN Desktop 7 products:
• SYSTRAN Home Translator
• SYSTRAN Office Translator
• SYSTRAN Business Translator
• SYSTRAN Premium Translator
The version of SDM included in SYSTRAN Business Translator allows you to name user
dictionaries, import and export dictionary resources, and detect duplicate entries. It also
allows you to use one Translation Memory per language pair.
If you are using SYSTRAN Premium Translator, you will also be able to create and manage
Translation Memories (TMs) and Normalization Dictionaries (NDs), and use Lookup
Operators to extend the coverage of your terminology.
