Spelling Dictionary

The Spelling dictionary contributes to accuracy when translating many concepts from the same language.  The user can start by importing a spelling dictionary consisting of correctly spelled terms from the target language.  Alternatively, or additionally, the user can add correctly spelled words to the dictionary as the translation progresses.  In this way when words are reused, they will be recognized.

• In the translation details panel, the Spelling Dictionary can be enabled/disabled.  The Spelling Dictionary can be initialized by copying the dictionary from another translation.  Finally, a dictionary of terms can be imported from a file.

• In the concept editing panel, the user edits translations and can select the  icon to spell-check each translation description.  Terms not recognized by the spelling dictionary will be underlined in red.

• Those terms can be added to the spelling dictionary by clicking on the  icon in the Actions column.  Clicking  subsequent times, will not result in any red underlined words. 
• If a word was added to the spelling dictionary inadvertently, it can be removed via the 'Spelling and Memory Controls' panel.  Simply select the incorrect spelling from the picklist and click the 'Remove' button.
