Reversing Entries in User Dictionaries
UDs give you the flexibility to “reverse” source and target language entries on the
Multilingual page.
• If you reverse an entry in the Source language column, it allows the source
language for that entry to be used as the target language.
• If you reverse an entry in the Target language column, it allows the target
language for that entry to be used as the source language.
Examples of Using Reverse Entries
The following example shows how this feature works. Assume that the following entry
is reversed in the French column:
It means that French can be used as a source language for this entry. The dictionary
generates the following pairs:
• English->French (can->réservoir)
• English->Italian (can->envase di acqua)
• French-> Italian (réservoir-> envase di acqua)
Now assume that the following entries in the French and Italian columns have are
configured for reverse entries. This means that French and Italian can be used as a
source language for this entry. The dictionary generates the following pairs:
• "English->French (can->réservoir)
• "English-> Italian (can->envase di acqua)
• "French-> Italian (réservoir-> envase di acqua)
• " Italian ->French (envase di acqua ->réservoir)
