Create Additional Dictionaries - User Dictionaries (UDs)
User Dictionaries (UDs) let you increase the quality of source language analyses, which also increases the translation output for all associated target languages.

The ability to build Customized Dictionaries is one of the most powerful features. A dictionary builder lets you customize and create multiple dictionaries tailored to your needs. This increases the software's accuracy as you use it.

Notice how you can choose a phrase and not just a single word, very important and useful tool!

User Dictionaries (UD's) can be used for a number of functions, including:

• Automatically translating Not Found Words in the SYSTRAN dictionary.
  
• Overriding the target-language meaning of a word or expression in the SYSTRAN dictionaries, a capability that lets you customize translation output to fit specific needs.
  
• Ensuring that an expression is always treated as a unit by SYSTRAN analysis programs. (For SDM, an expression is a group of words with no verb.)
  
• Normalization Dictionaries (NDs) (Dialect or Localization Tool)
  There are two types of Normalization Dictionaries (NDs): source normalization and target normalization. This is really a control that helps you to set the dialect for a language.

Source normalization normalizes source document before translation.

It can be used to:

• Make consistent use of terminology in the source document: it is for instance possible to define that "colour" should be normalized to "color" as well as its inflected forms.
  
• Expand languages "shortcuts." In email language or chats, for example, "4u" can be normalized to "for you" before translation, so that it is correctly processed by translation engine.
  
• Target normalization adapts translation output to user needs in term of terminology consistency. It can also provide a way to replace expressions chosen by the software's translation engine with user-defined expressions.

Normalization Dictionaries are the perfect complement to User Dictionaries, allowing you to reduce size and redundancy of User Dictionaries.
