The following lists the most important definitions of commonly used automation terms for better comprehensibility:

• A Command is a directive to a computer program, interpreting to perform the corresponding task.
• In a Macro a sequence of commands is saved from the GUI and can be replayed at any time. GeoDict macros can be edited in any available text editor.
• All commands in the GeoDict modules are controlled by Parameters that can be edited in the respective module sections. Different parameters lead to different results. These parameters can be recorded in macros, where they can also be edited.
• Python is the default interpreted programming language for GeoDict macros.
• GeoPy is a short form of GeoDict Python and refers to the programming language of GeoDict macros.
• GMC is the old programming language used in GeoDict macros. It can still be used but it is recommended to switch to GeoPy.
• Command lines are commands in form of successive lines of text, used in a command-line interface.
• In computer programming Variables are used to store information, e.g. in form of numbers (integer, float), text (string) or module parameters (dictionary).
