SDL Trados Studio contains dictionaries for a number of languages. However:
SDL Trados Studio does not contain dictionaries for all supported languages.
You probably use many words that are not included in the provided dictionaries, for example the names of companies and products.
Hence, you might want to add words to a custom dictionary, or to import whole dictionaries into SDL Trados Studio.
By default custom dictionaries are in the folder:
...\document and settings\<user name>\Application data\SDL\SpellChecker\
They have the file name extension .dic.
NOTE |
In some versions of SDL Trados Studio , the file name extension for a dictionary is case-sensitive and must be lowercase, .dic. |
Each customer dictionary has an associated affix file, which lists acceptable prefixes and suffixes to words. If you do not provide an affix file in the Add custom dictionary command, SDL Trados Studio creates an empty one.
Custom dictionaries have the same format as provided dictionaries. See Dictionary Format.
