Using glossaries

Glossaries are dictionaries that the system consults during automatic translation. A differentiation is made between general and project-specific glossaries.

General glossaries containing e.g. standard text translations for Windows programs can be used with all projects.

Project glossaries, on the other hand, apply only to a specific project. You should only use this for specific dictionaries that are either not required or not practical for other projects.

To edit the list of glossaries, choose Tools tab > Glossaries. This dialog shows a list of all the general glossaries and project glossaries. (see Editing the glossary list)

For further information about the glossary file format, please see Glossary Files.
