The Translation Dictionary

In this dictionary you need to store translations for words and phrases. Don’t confuse this dictionary with the database table you need to create to store application specific messages. This dictionary stores just words and phrases and can be used for any multilingual application. You don't need to deploy this dictionary to the user sites, where as the messages database stores application specific messages and need to be deployed unless you maintain them in the central database. If you want to use your own custom dictionary no problem, there are functions to enable you to use proprietary translation dictionaries.
