SDM Import and Export Specifications
Using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager's (SDM’s) Import feature, you can open
dictionaries created with a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel, or a
common text editor. These dictionaries must be carefully formatted before they can be
imported into SDM.
• Formatted Text Files
• Microsoft Excel Files
Microsoft Excel Files
To import dictionaries created with Microsoft Excel, the files must consist of two
worksheets named for the tabs in the UD: Multilingual and Do Not Translate.
As with formatted text files, the Microsoft Excel file column headings for the Languages
and information columns for the UD must be entered as you want them to appear in
SDM.
The figure below shows an Excel spreadsheet formatted for import into SDM.
After the Excel file is imported, it appears in SDM as shown below.
