Adding Words and Phrases
After you specify the properties for your UD, TM, or ND, you can enter words and
phrases into it. For UDs and NDs, entries consist of words and phrases in the source
and target language. For TMs, entries are full sentences and no coding process is
performed.
UDs are used to designate two types of terms:
• Multilingual terms that are to be translated
• Do Not Translate (DNT) that are not to be transmitted
You enter these terms on their own pages in the UD. By default, UDs open to the
Multilingual screen. To go to the Do not translate screen, either hold down the Ctrl
key and press Tab, or click the Do not translate button at the bottom-left side of the
UD window.

cursor to the Target language field, then enter the appropriate word or
phrase.

more information about these columns, see Table 17 on page 120.
