Using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM)
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM) lets you create, and maintain User Dictionaries
(UDs), which can be used to customize and improve your translations.
Dictionary resources can be used for a number of functions, including:
• Automatically translating terms not found in the SYSTRAN Main Dictionary.
• Overriding the target-language meaning of a term in the SYSTRAN Main
Dictionary to customize translation output.
• Ensuring that a multi-word expression is always treated as a single unit by the
translation software.
SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager is available in the following SYSTRAN 6 products:
• SYSTRAN Home Translator
• SYSTRAN Office Translator
• SYSTRAN Business Translator
• SYSTRAN Premium Translator
The version of SDM included in SYSTRAN Business Translator 6 allows you to name
user dictionaries, import and export dictionary resources, and detect duplicate entries.
If you are using SYSTRAN Premium Translator 6, you will also be able to create and
manage Translation Memories (TMs) and Normalization Dictionaries (NDs), and use
Lookup Operators to extend the coverage of your terminology.
