IDevice Icon Activity

Follow the procedure below to get practice in adding newly spotted vocabulary (with a potential to be useful in future translation) into an active termbase that is open in this sample task:

1. Highlight the word paper in the source segment by double-clicking it.

2. Highlight its equivalent in the target segment (e.g. papĂ­r).

3. While both words are highlighted click the right mouse button.

4. Select Add New Term from the context menu.


5. A draft entry is now displayed in the Termbase Viewer window. Click the Save this Entry button to save the new entry in the termbase.

Close the Termbase Viewer window if you need more screen space for your translation work. Confirm the finished target segment with Ctrl+Enter to continue. When you move to the following segment note that the term paper is now highlighted with a red bracketed line. This means that you can click the shortcut key combination Ctrl+Shift+L to open a list of available target terms, among which you will find the translation for the newly-added term paper.
