User Guide

188 SYSTRAN Desktop 7 User Guide
When the software cannot find an appropriate way to code your entries, Error
appears in the Category column (if this column is displayed in your dictionary)
and displays in the second column (Status). Click on the icon to display
coding error.
Confidence Column: The color codes provide information on how the entries will
be used during translation. The larger the bar, the higher the level of confidence
in the coding. Yellow means the entry requires revision.
You can select multiple entries to code. To select contiguous entries, click the
first one and hold down the Shift key while clicking the last one. All entries in
between are coded. If the entries are not contiguous, click the first one and hold
down the Ctrl key while clicking each additional entry you want to code. You can
then click Code Selection to code the selected entries.
Setting Proposal Status
Display Proposal Status as a UD column by checking the box in the Dictionary Columns
toolbox (see Managing Dictionary Columns).
The Proposal Status column indicates the dictionary inclusion status of each term entry, and
which determines the level of priority for the term in translation tasks.
Specifically, there are three (3) possible settings:
Confirmed:
good entries; entries that are given the highest precedence in translation tasks;
default status of entries made directly to a dictionary by a user
Candidate:
entries whose status remains under consideration; used in translation tasks but at
a lower priority level than Confirmed entries; default status of automatically-
generated entries (via SYSTRAN Training Server's Resource Extraction task, via
SYSTRAN Customization Wizard, etc.)
Disabled:
bad entries; entries that are deemed incorrect for the dictionary and any translation
tasks for which it may be used
Editing User Dictionary Entries
You can edit the Source language, Target language, Category, Domain, and Comment
fields in a UD. The Confidence column cannot be edited, as it is a measurement generated
by the SDM software.
