Request and import term
Request terms
If a term is not included in the Master dictionary and therefore not available in the word list, the term can be requested:
- Insert the term at the desired position
- On the “Translation” tab in the “Dictionary” group select “Create / Update”. Confirm the dia-logue with “OK”.
- The “Request terms” dialogue opens. Here, you can already submit translations and / or comments to the Master dictionary. Close the dialogue by clicking “Save & close”.
- The term has been requested and highlighted with diagonal red highlighting in the worksheet for a better overview.

Requested terms are represented in Word and Excel by a magenta-coloured deposit and the term "#Requested_term_# is introduced. This means that the requested term is still displayed as a text element in the table environment. |

When is a term authorized?
If a term has been released in the Master dictionary and you update the sub-dictionary again, the term is available for you. The highlighting of the terms (diagonal red line) is also removed from the worksheets.
How do I get translations of the main language?
If a term's translation changes, it is automatically transferred from the Master dictionary to the sub-dictionaries in which the term is used.
What happens if a term in the main language changes?
If a term in the main language has been edited in the Master dictionary and you update the sub-dictionary again, the “Edited terms” dialogue opens. Here you have the following options:
- For each term, you can decide if you want to
- “Import term from master dictionary” Import the edited term.
- “Request term from sub-dictionary again” Reject the changes and keep the original term in your sub-dictionary. The term of the sub-synopsis will be requested again.
- As regards the terms, you can
- “Import all” Import all of the edited terms.
- “Request all again” Reject all changes and keep the original terms in your sub-dictionary. The terms in the sub-dictionary will be requested again.
What does the “Synopsis tracker” worksheet do?
The “Synopsis tracker” helps you to understand which terms were changed automatically in the sub-dictionary due to changes in the Master dictionary. The “Synopsis tracker” sheet is created automatically if a requested or existing term of the sub-dictionary is changed in the Master dic-tionary. The synopsis tracker shows:
- Terms that are used in the sub-dictionary and have been changed in the main language or in one of the sub-languages of the Master dictionary.
- Terms that have been requested, but have been edited by AutoCorrect.
The following information is shown for all terms:
- edit date, language, change, original term, new term, worksheet, cell and hyperlink to the hit.
The last edited terms are highlighted in turquoise in the tracker.
