Glossary
Set verbatim terms, preferred translations and notes, organize groups and review translation results.
Updated
A glossary supplies guidance for names, product codes and specialist terms. Free stores 10 entries; Pro / Team remove that entry-count limit. Individual prompts still have app and model context limits.
Three entry types
| Type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Verbatim | Ask for a name to remain unchanged | Keep a product code as written |
| Translate | Specify source and target wording | purchase order → 采购订单 |
| Note | Add contextual guidance | Explain an acronym's meaning in your business |
These entries provide soft guidance and validation criteria. They do not guarantee every translation will match.
Create and organize
- Open glossary management from the sidebar.
- Create groups for clients, projects or topics.
- Add an entry, choose its type and fill in the original text, target wording or note.
- Set source language, target language and directionality as applicable, then save and enable it.
- Confirm the active groups before a session.
Available fields depend on the entry type and current app. Keep groups focused and avoid contradictory instructions for the same term.
Guidance and validation
Active terms can be included in translation prompts. With glossary validation enabled, the interface can flag results that do not match expectations. Compare the original and the warning and edit replies when necessary. A validation indicator does not mean every error has been automatically fixed.
Check the maximum entries included per prompt. Unlimited Pro storage does not put every stored term into every request.
Import and export
CSV and JSON are supported. Export a small sample first, then follow its fields and types. CSV uses these columns:
type,src_lang,tgt_lang,src_text,tgt_text,groups,directional,enabled,notes
translate,en,zh,purchase order,采购订单,procurement,true,true,Procurement terminology
Back up before overwriting or bulk changes. After importing, check languages, groups and enabled states. Column names from another product may not be compatible.
Data and sharing
Terms are stored on your device. Cloud translation receives the terms and notes included in its prompt. Export files support controlled migration; your website account does not automatically sync personal glossaries.
Team LAN sharing provides engine services, not automatic glossary distribution.
When a translation still differs
- Check the entry is enabled, the group selected and the language direction correct.
- Check whether speech recognition already changed the original term.
- Reduce conflicting terms or overly broad notes.
- Use knowledge-base answers for longer reference explanations.
