In the Edit Word dialog (Fig. 2) you can set a new translation for the given source word. In English-Finnish dictionaries you can also define linguistic attributes such as word class, semantic class and inflection. Choosing correct linguistic attributes helps the translator to make fluent translations. Click the "Show additional attributes" button to see all linguistic attributes available for editing. In Finnish-English dictionaries the word class is always noun.
More info about the linguistic attributes can be found at: www.sunda.fi/en/guide/linguistic-attributes
Enter the source word and its translation in base form without infections, articles or prepositions. In English-Finnish dictionaries the source word can be a fixed phrase (like "mobile phone" ⇒ "matkapuhelin"). However, in Finnish-English dictionaries the source word can consist of only a single Finnish word. In addition, only words that the translator recognizes as Finnish can be added to Finnish-English dictionaries.
If the dictionary type is "Phrases", use the Edit Phrase window to set a new translation for a phrase or full sentence. You can use "wildcard" markings @Noun or @Adj in place of a single word in the phrase (English-to-Finnish only). @Noun means that any noun is accepted (e.g. "This is a @Noun" ⇒ "Tämä on @Noun"). @Adj means that any adjective is accepted.
Select File->Export Dictionary from the top menu to export the selected user dictionary to an external file. This allows you to share the dictionary with other users or to edit it in an external editor like MS Excel. You can export dictionaries into Excel, CSV, XML and TMX file formats.
To import a dictionary file, select File->Import Dictionary. For example, if you have a term list stored in an Excel file or a translation memory in a TMX file, you can import them into the translator.
An example user dictionary file (in Excel format) is located at: www.sunda.fi/en/guide/example-dictionary.xlsx
