Translating Input Text
With the SYSTRAN Interactive Translator you can easily translate text that is pasted or
directly typed into the application's source text field. SYSTRAN Interactive Translator also
allows you to apply translation profiles to your translation tasks.
Defining Terms
The Lookup feature in the SYSTRAN Interactive Translator and the SYSTRAN Toolbar let
you search for meanings of a language term in the following dictionaries:
• SYSTRAN Main Dictionary
• SYSTRAN Specialized Dictionaries
• User Dictionaries (UDs)
• Additional Dictionaries: depending on the product you have installed and the selected
language pair, you may also have access to third-party electronic dictionaries.
When you perform a lookup on a term, SYSTRAN 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.
