• Do Not Translate (DNT) terms that should not be translated
• Source Category terms, used to specify the grammatical category of source terms
without specifying their translations
After you specify the properties for a UD, you can add source and target language terms to it.
1. Click your cursor in an open box in the Source column. Enter the term to be translated.
2. Move the cursor to the Target language box on the same row and enter the target
language term.
3. Click in the Category box to display the Category dropdown and select the grammatical
category of the word (noun, verb, etc.). You can allow SDM to select a category
automatically by selecting Auto (refer to Coding User Dictionary Entries).
One special category is “sequence”. Unlike the other categories, the Sequence category
is not linguistics-related and simply specifies that the source expression is a non-
categorized “sequence” of words. Use of this category can break the sentence structure,
so we recommend using it with caution in User Dictionaries.
When using the Sequence category, the source and target terms are considered “as is”.
IntuitiveCoding does not apply, and parentheses in the entry are considered as part of the
entry and not as a clues identifier.
