What is Glossary?
Glossaries are designed to ensure that specific terms are translated consistently. You can add brand names, product names, industry terms or other key words to the glossary to avoid mistranslations or inconsistent expressions.
Main benefits:
- Protect brand image: Ensure that brand names and proper nouns are not mistranslated, and enhance customer trust.
- Improve translation consistency: Avoid the same word being translated into different expressions on different pages.
- Reduce manual adjustments: Automatically apply set rules during translation to improve efficiency and reduce error rates.
Setting up Glossary
First, go to “Glossary” >> Click on “Create rule”.
- Enter text (default word) that you want to set rule.
- Select translation language if you want the rule to be applied to all the language or just for a specific one.
- If you want to perform a case-sensitive replacement, check the “Case sensitive” option. As shown in the figure below, set Always translate ‘Ciwi’ to ‘Ciwi'”. If this option is not checked, variations like “CIWI” and “CIwi” will all be translated to “Ciwi”. However, if this option is checked, only the exact match “Ciwi” will be translated to “Ciwi”, and the others will not be.
- Click on the “Save” button.
Note:
Glossaries only affect future translations and do not change existing translations immediately after they are created. To use a glossary on existing translations, delete the existing content and translate it again, or contact support.
The upper limit of vocabulary rules
The current vocabulary can support up to 10 rule. If the upper limit is reached, you can consider optimizing management in the following ways:
- Delete uncommon rules: Check the vocabulary regularly and remove vocabulary rules that are no longer applicable.
- Priority management: Only keep vocabulary rules that are critical to the brand or product.
If you need to increase the number of rules, you can contact the support team for more help.
