Glossaries

A glossary maps a source term to the translation you want AI Glot to prefer. Use it for brand vocabulary, product terms and wording that must remain consistent.

How glossaries work

Each glossary belongs to one workspace and one language pair, such as English to French. At translation planning time, AI Glot automatically takes a snapshot of the matching glossary; edits made after a batch starts affect future batches, not work already running.

The source term is matched exactly as terminology guidance, while the translation engine still adapts grammar and surrounding sentences.

Create or edit one

1. Open Glossaries in the app.
2. Choose the source and target languages.
3. Add source and preferred target terms.
4. Save. Fully empty rows are ignored; a half-filled row is rejected.

1. Source language. The language your original text is written in.
2. Target language. The language you want the preferred terms in. You get one glossary per language pair.
3. Create glossary. Creates the empty glossary and opens its editor.

1. Source term. The word or phrase as it appears in your files.
2. Translation. The wording you want AI Glot to use instead of its own choice.
3. Add row. Adds an empty row. You can also paste several rows from a spreadsheet into any cell.
4. Save glossary. Saves your changes. The counter next to Add row shows how many terms you use out of your plan’s limit.

You can also manage glossaries through the REST API, CLI, or MCP tools.

Limits

Glossary size is capped because every term is added to every matching translation request. Large glossaries increase processing cost repeatedly, not only when they are saved.
