Phrase books provide a common set of translations to help ensure consistency. A phrase book is a set of source phrases, target (translated) phrases, and optional definitions. Typically, one phrase book is created per language and family of applications. Phrase books avoid duplication of effort since they contain translations for a family of applications.

The Phrases and guesses view displays the current string and its phrase book translations. If the current string is the same as or similar to a translated string, the view also lists the string and its translation.

To copy a translation from the Phrases and guesses view to the translation area, double-click it or select it and press Enter .
