It is possible for project texts to be imported into the dictionary. All texts that can be translated and that exist in the selected language in the project will be transferred as keywords into the dictionary. When importing project and parts texts the entire entry of a text box is always imported, even if the setting "Word" is selected in the Segment drop-down list. Texts marked "Do not translate" are also included, because otherwise the text would be incomplete and could not be translated with the dictionary.

• You have opened a project that contains project texts in one or more languages.
