Translating content with Dictionary resources

Dictionaries are lists of terms used only for a specific language pair direction. Dictionaries are very useful when users want to enforce consistency of terms or phrases throughout all the translations for a language pair.

Before you begin

Dictionaries are created in the SDL Machine Translation Edge and SDL Machine Translation Cloud applications. The Dictionary field is available only if dictionaries for the selected language pair are available (SDL Machine Translation Edge/SDL ETS or SDL Machine Translation Cloud/SDL BeGlobal).

Procedure

  1. Open the web browser on which the SDL Instant Translation Browser plug-in is installed.
  2. Select the SDL logo icon (SDL Instant Translation Browser plug-in icon) from your browser toolbar.
  3. In the settings dialog, in the Dictionary field:
    • To translate with dictionary resources, select one or more available dictionaries from the list.
    • To translate without dictionary, leave the field empty.
  4. Select Done.
