Using SYSTRAN Dictionary Manager (SDM)
Available in SYSTRAN 7 Expert Tools, 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.
SDM allows you to name user dictionaries, import and export dictionary resources, and detect
duplicate entries.
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.
