Translations can also be entered as references to your own dictionary. If the approved translation of an original text changes, it is not necessary to correct each translation individually, but only the entry in the dictionary. References are particularly suitable for templates, but can also be used in text documents.

1. Show the  4D expressions in a text document to distinguish between database references and pure text (prior to Version 12.1: on the toolbar of the  Text tab).
2. A  Dictionary matching the selected language will automatically appear in the toolbar (prior to Version 12.1: select first).
3. Highlight the text you want to translate and click on  Dictionary >  Replace with dictionary reference.
4. To ensure that the translation is capitalised at the beginning of the sentence, select  Dictionary reference (first letter upper case).
5.  Save your input by clicking on the icon in the top left-hand corner of the input window.
