Creating and Managing Dictionaries Using SYSTRAN
Dictionary Manager (SDM)
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM) allows you to create your own user-defined
dictionaries. These dictionaries can be used to improve translation quality by training
the software to understand special terminology or subject matter.
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager is unique and highly intuitive because it contains three
levels of linguistic data types that you can add to the translation process: User
Dictionaries, Normalization Dictionaries, and Translation Memories. Any data
provided by you automatically complements the software’s default translations and
trains the software to translate specific terminology based on the subject and context
you are working with. The more terms you add to SDM, the higher the coverage of your
terminology in your translated texts - and higher coverage yields better quality
translation results.
A version of SDM is available in all SYSTRAN 6 products except SYSTRAN Web
Translator. Available features depend on the SYSTRAN 6 product you install. Refer to
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager Features on page 81 for information on the dictionary
features included in each SYSTRAN 6 product.
