■ Available Dictionaries, Dictionaries in Use and Changeable
Dictionary
Dictionaries that can be used for translation are of the following three kinds.
●
Available Dictionaries
Technical dictionaries provided as standard, user dictionaries downloaded using Internet
Update and installed technical dictionaries are available dictionaries. However, an available
dictionary cannot be used until it is set up as a Dictionary in Use.
●
Dictionary in Use
Dictionaries that are actually used in a translation are labeled Dictionaries in Use. A total of
32 dictionaries - this includes technical dictionaries and user dictionaries - can be integrated
in a translation environment. (The Standard Dictionary is always a Dictionary in Use.) For
details on dictionary setup, refer to "8.2 Setting Dictionaries to be Used for Translation
[Dictionaries Used in Translation]" on page 126.
