Translation Glossary

Add a new term to an existing glossary concept

Tap the ‘ADD TERM’ button (term details are on the left side of the screen, the right side is reserved for high level concept details).

Concept – the highest-level terminology element that contains concept-level data (e.g., concept definition, subject, etc.), including language-level (i.e., term language) and term-level data (e.g., term, the term’s part of speech, type, etc.). Simply put, a concept incorporates glossary terms and their variations with multiple translations and other relevant information.

Concept details:

• Definition – concept definition.
• Subject – a branch of knowledge the concept is related to.
• Note – short notes about a concept that might be helpful to translators.
• URL – URL to the web page with relevant information about a concept.
• Figure – URL to the relevant image.

Term details:

• Part of speech – e.g., noun, verb, adjective, etc.
• Type – e.g., full form, acronym, abbreviation, etc.
• Status – preferred, admitted, not recommended, obsolete.
• Gender – term gender.
• Description – term description.
• Note – short notes about a term that might be helpful to translators.
• URL – URL to the web page with relevant information about a term.

Tap the + icon (please search for terms before creating new ones).

High level glossary details are added to the right side, the left side includes any added terms.
