When working with a Master dictionary, terms and their translations are managed and updated. Any number of Excel files can access this central source. Uniform wording and translation in ta-bles can be ensured throughout the company in this way.

Overview

Working with the Master dictionary comprises two elements:

  • The master dictionary (corresponds to the word list in this case) contains the terms and the associated translations.
  • As an extract of the master dictionary, the sub-dictionaries contain only those terms and translations that occur in the associated Excel file.



Working with the master dictionary

The central dictionary is the primary management tool of translation elements in firesys. Therefore not all setting options are available for every user group. The following access rights are possible for the different user roles:

Good to know

The Master dictionary of every Excel file can be edited and firesys users can execute all functions without toolsrights. toolsrights allows you to limit the user's access to firesys functions.


Authorize requested terms


If a new term is used in a sub-dictionary, but it is not in the Master dictionary, it is requested (> see section “Request terms”). The requested terms now have to be reviewed, cor-rected if necessary and authorized (> see section “Import term”). IYou can see this process in the diagram above.

  • So in the first step (Firesys Icons BubbleOrange 1 white background.png) a term in any sub-dictionary requested.
  • In the second step this requested term is transferred to your central dictionary Firesys Icons BubbleGreen 2.png). Here an administrator can check the term, then release it and incorporate a suitable translation.
  • The term is then made available by the central dictionary for all linked sub-dictionaries (Step 3 / Firesys Icons BubbleViolet 3.png).
  • Finally, this term can be used in all sub-dictionaries. (Firesys Icons Bubble Violet4.png).
