The Add Translation(s) dialog box is used to export translations from the active translation project into a particular dictionary or translation memory.  Open the dialog by selecting the Add Translation(s) command from the Dictionary/TM menu.  The same command is also available via RC-WinTrans' export function.

 

The operation will be performed for the item(s) currently selected in the Text Table view.
