Using the Dictionary
During translation, ATLAS analyzes words and grammatical information in
the dictionaries to create translated text. Through the effective use of the
dictionaries, it is possible to improve the accuracy of translation.
In this chapter, we introduce the dictionaries used in ATLAS and show how
to use them.
8.1 About Dictionaries
This section describes the types of dictionaries used in ATLAS. You can set the 3
types of dictionaries.
■ Standard Dictionary, technical dictionaries and user dictionaries
ATLAS provides the following three types of dictionaries.
● Standard Dictionary
This is the standard ATLAS dictionary that is used at all times.
Although it cannot be updated, you can temporarily disable the use of specific terms.
● Technical Dictionaries (dictionaries for different technical fields)
Dictionaries listing technical terms for different fields are mainly of two kinds. Dictionary data
cannot be updated, but you can temporarily disable the use of specific terms.
• Technical Dictionaries provided as standard
The following technical dictionaries are automatically installed with ATLAS and are used as
part of the ATLAS translation environment with the same name:
Business Packet, Manual Packet, Mail Packet, Entertainment Packet,
Chat Packet, Patent Packet and Patent Procedure Packet

Basic Sample

*1 "Patent Procedure Packet" as well as "Patent" are set as the "Dictionaries Used in
Translation" in the "Patent" translation environment. "Patent Procedure Packet" is a
dictionary used for patent documents other than patent applications (e.g. notification of
reasons of refusal).
*2 "Basic Sample" and "Business mail sample" include translation memory. You can
specify whether to install these dictionaries at the time of installation.
• Optional technical dictionaries
These are optional ATLAS series products installed after installing ATLAS. They must be
added to the Dictionaries in Use. Technical dictionaries that are no longer needed can be
uninstalled.
● User Dictionaries - dictionaries made and updated by the user
User dictionaries are dictionaries that list terms and translation memory data not found in the
above dictionaries.
Since a total of 1000 user dictionaries can be created, you can select dictionaries to suit
specific translation projects.
Existing user dictionaries can be used with ATLAS and you can download them from the
ATLAS Web page using Internet Update.
To access a user dictionary during translation, it must be set up as a Dictionary in Use.
