Creating Texts in the Proposal Pool 

Use

You can create the following texts in the proposal pool in the Proposal Pool: Editing dialog box:

The node text is the term to which length variants can be assigned.

In most cases, only one form of the system standard or application standard exists. This is then the node text.

A length variant is usually an abbreviation of the node text.

You can create a length variant for a system standard and for an application standard. However, you can only create a length variant if a node text exists. Usually other length variants of the node text can be considered as abbreviations of the node text, or as upper-case/lower-case variants.

An exception is a translation that is only valid for a particular context. An exception is only valid within an application.

You can only create an exception within an application. In other words, you cannot create exceptions for the system standard.

You can access the Proposal Pool: Editing dialog box as described in Accessing the Proposal Pool.
