Copying to a language

The Copy to language option is a similar one to creating a copy of the dictionary, thought a dictionary copy is created for a chosen language.

dict show language

This may be useful when there are different languages in a text your work with.

Copying a base part of a dictionary

Any PolyAnalyst dictionary consists of two parts, i.e. a base part (initially present in the dictionary, i.e. the zero version of the dictionary) and user changes.

The Copy base part of dictionary to…​ is quite a dangerous operation. This will replace the base part of a chosen dictionary with the base part of the source dictionary.

dict show base part

This operation cannot be undone.

Access to a dictionary

The Access rights option allows you to give access to a chosen dictionary category. Only administrators and owners of the dictionaries can change these parameters.

Debugging a dictionary

The Debug operation allows to debug the dictionaries, e.g. when there may be a dictionary conflict.

dict show debug

There are 3 debugging options available, i.e.

  • Refresh statistics of the initial dictionary – the base version of the dictionary will be refreshed.

  • Merge all user changes into initial dictionary – all the changes will be merged with the initial version of the dictionary, e.g. a changed clone of the dictionary and the original version of the dictionary will have no differences (in other words, all the changes will be saved directly to the basic dictionary).

  • Remove from memory cache – the dictionary will be removed from cache.
