+The command
+.B uniondict
+creates an
+.B m4
+define-file out of three tables.
+.I langtolang
+is a two-letter code that indicates which language is being translated
+to which; for example,
+.B ed
+stands for ``English to German'' (Deutsch).
+.PP
+.B uniondict
+expects one table of lower-case letters, such as
+.BR ed.low ,
+and one of all capital letters, such as
+.BR ed.allcap ,
+and builds its own table with initial capitals.
+Finally
+.B uniondict
+uses the
+.B /rdb
+command
+.B tabletom4
+to create a definefile for
+.BR m4 .
+.SH Example
+To generate a definefile for English-to-German translation, type the command:
+.DM
+	uniondict ed
+.DE
+.PP
+If the two precursor files already exist, then this command generates
+a new file named
+.B ed
+that can be used by
+.BR translate .
