Managing a Dictionary or Translation Memory
The following sections provide a step-by-step process for managing UDs and NDs.
The same procedure applies for TMs.
For UDs and TMs, entries consist of words and expressions in the source and target
languages. For NDs, the target language is the source language and appears as a
“Normalized” column in the dictionary view. Dictionaries can be configured for
grammatical, confidence indicators, comments, and other terminological
characteristics.
Each dictionary is associated with the concept of Domains. Domains are dynamic
contextual terminology specifications. There are two types of Domains associated
with UDs, system domains and custom domains.
• System domains are bundled into SDM.
• Custom domains are created by the person who creates the dictionary.
The following procedure summarizes the steps for creating a new UD or ND:
1. Create a new project and define its properties.
2. Populate the UD, TM, or ND with words and phrases.
3. Work with entries, if necessary.
4. Perform additional dictionary activities, if necessary. See Working with
Dictionaries on page 143.
Before proceeding, we recommend you read Using Intuitive Coding to Build High-
Quality Dictionaries on page 145 to learn how to build high-quality UDs and NDs.
