4. Select the file and click Open. If no dictionary is open, SDM imports the entries into a
new dictionary. If at least one UD is open, SDM will propose merging the imported data
into the currently active UD file.
As a shortcut, you can double-click the file in the Open dialog box to import its
contents into SDM.
Exporting Files from a User Dictionary
You can export UD entries from SDM when using SYSTRAN
Business Translator and SYSTRAN Premium Translator.
There may be times when you want to work on dictionary entries outside of SDM. For
example, you may want to export a UD, TM, or ND to Microsoft Excel format, so you can
perform Excel activities on the file. You can then use SDM’s import feature to import the file
back into a dictionary if desired.
1. Open the dictionary that you want to export.
2. On the File menu, click Export. The Export dialog box appears.
The Export command is only available when a UD is open in the SDM window.
3. Navigate to the location where you want the exported file to be saved.
4. For File name, enter a name for the file that will contain the exported entries.
5. For Save as type, select a format to export the file to.
6. Click Save to export the entries to the file.
