What is a glossary?

A Glossary is a searchable repository containing a list of multilingual terms (words and phrases that describe your organisation, its products and services) and the rules regarding how they are used.

A Glossary can be anything from a list of bilingual or multilingual terms provided in an excel to complex terminology databases supplied in a .tbx format. When used for translation, this document is filled with vital contextual information about how these terms should be handled.

This is why we need you to share your Glossary with us - your proximity and familiarity with your brand and subject matter makes the Glossary an invaluable asset when it comes to translating your content.

Why you control your Glossary

As opposed to Translation Memory, a Glossary is not automatically created and updated during the translation process. This is why we need to get your Glossary from you - your proximity and familiarity with your brand and subject matter makes the Glossary an invaluable asset when it comes to translating your content.
