What is glossary?
Glossary is a powerful feature that allows you to define specific translations for words or phrases in any language pair. Glossaries help you maintain consistency across translations by:- Ensuring specific terms, like brand names, remain untranslated to uphold brand identity across all languages.
- Standardizing industry-specific jargon or technical terms, preventing inconsistencies that could confuse your audience.
Create glossary
Each glossary applies to a single language pair. You can create multiple glossaries for same language pair to customize them for different types of content. To create a new glossary:- use create Glossary
- specify a name for your glossary
- specify source language
- specify destination language
- define your entries array in a key: value format, where each key-value pair represents a term and its translation. Here:
- the key is the term in the source language (
src_lang
) - the value is its translation in the destination language (
dst_lang
).
- the key is the term in the source language (
Use glossary
Once you’ve created a glossary and received the glossary_id, you can specify this ID when creating new project.Glossary can be used only for projects with the same source-destination language pair. A glossary created for a specific destination language (i.e.
es
) will work across all dialects we support for that language (es-es
, es-us
, etc).Edit glossary
You can edit glossary or delete it by using corresponding endpoints. Changes made to a glossary will not impact projects where that glossary has already been applied. You can check the version of glossary used in project by reviewingglossary_version
parameter in get Project response.
