Dictionary Resources
The Translution Dictionary Manager enables you to fine-tune your Translution System. If you find that the underlying MT system is coming up with a translation that does not conform with what you want to say, you can enter the correct source and target term in your User Specific Dictionary (USD).
To assist you in this, we have created a "Top 10" list of lexical resources that you can use to find translations.
