What Is a Glossary?

A Glossary ensures consistent translation and pronunciation of specific terms across your project. This is especially useful for:
  • Brand names
  • Industry-specific terminology
  • Names and proper nouns
  • Fixed expressions that shouldn’t be translated
Glossary only works with Translation tools, including Translate & Dub and Translate Subtitles.
Glossary is available to Business and higher-tier members.

Create a Glossary

To create and manage glossaries:
  1. On the Dashboard, click the Glossaries tab in the left sidebar.
  2. You will see a list of all glossaries you’ve created, along with their language pairs and number of terms.
  3. Click New Glossary to create a new glossary.
This will open the term editor page, where you can:
  • Add new term pairs
  • Edit or delete existing terms
  • Import terms via CSV

Use Glossary in a Project

When creating a Translation Project, you can choose one or more glossaries in the Advanced Settings section.
  1. Expand the Advanced Settings.
  2. In the Glossary dropdown, select one or more glossaries.
  3. The selected glossaries will guide translation and dubbing. If any term conflicts exist across glossaries, terms from the glossary listed first will be used with higher priority.
