The document discusses adding terms to dictionaries for technical or specialized translation. Terms can be added by importing resources, manually entering them in Transit NXT's interface, or finding and adding terms as translation is done. Entering terms during translation has advantages like only needing to research terms once and improving consistency, quality, and productivity.
