What is a translation glossary?
A translation glossary is a curated list of approved terms and definitions used consistently across translated content. It defines preferred terminology, usage, and context to help ensure clarity and consistency across languages and projects.
When should a glossary be created?
How is a glossary used during translation projects?
A glossary acts as a reference point throughout a project to guide terminology decisions and maintain consistency. It helps ensure preferred terms are applied the same way across documents, updates, and future content, reducing rework and keeping messaging aligned over time.
Who contributes to the glossary?
Glossaries are developed collaboratively using existing materials, client preferences, and subject-matter expertise. When available, client input is incorporated to ensure terminology aligns with internal standards and expectations.
