When using Excel to register translation memory items, note the following:
• If you attempt to perform registration and no cells are selected, an area of cells is selected
automatically.
• If you select a range of data including a blank cell and attempt to register the data as a
translation memory item, an error message appears and it cannot be registered. At this
time, the cursor moves to the affected cell. Correctly select the range you want to register
in the translation memory and then try again.
If you cannot register a translation memory item, the Translation Editor displays a registration
failure message number. If registration was attempted from an area other than the Translation
Editor, the registration result is displayed in the dialog box. Clicking the [Details] button in the
dialog box displays the reason for failure. Correct the original or translated text as needed and
try registration again.
The translation memory can be used in both the J → E and E → J translation directions.
Since the number of words and translation memory items added in one user dictionary affect
processing speed, you must rebuild the dictionary when the current dictionary reaches 10,000
words or memory items.
It is recommended that you keep the total number of translation memory item entries in a
changeable dictionary to around 10,000. You can create larger dictionaries by the following
methods:
• Extracting or merging dictionary data
• Register the TRA format file, which is created by extracting all data, from Translation Editor
However, if the dictionary contains many words or translation memory items, update of the
dictionary takes time. Therefore, do not set such a dictionary as the changeable dictionary,
instead, set another dictionary as the changeable dictionary.
We recommend that you classify dictionaries by purpose of use and field to minimize the
number of dictionaries used.
