9.1 About the Common Dictionaries
Common dictionaries are user dictionaries that can be shared by multiple users in a
group.
The common dictionary function has a number of advantages.
● Multiple translators can use the same dictionary for translation work, helping ensure
consistent translation quality.
● One administrator is set for each common dictionary and only the administrator can update
the common dictionary (Add Word/Store Translation Memory, etc.), ensuring dictionary
integrity.
● Common dictionaries are automatically downloaded when ATLAS boots and are automatically
uploaded when it quits. This enables a user to use the latest translation data without worrying
about whether the dictionary is updated.
The requirements to use the common dictionary function are as follows.
● Network users must be uniquely identified by User Name and Computer Name
● There must be a Common Folder that can be accessed by users
