What is a glossary?
- A glossary is a set of terms (pairs of the source term and translated term) that are to be used for the specific group or project. A glossary is used in Quick PE during the import process of the translation files, and also during the verification and re-translation processes in File Editor by linguists (translators and reviewers). You can set up a glossary with the following information.
Available files for import
Please note that the following restrictions apply to files that can be imported as glossaries on Glossary Details screen.
- Supported file format and extensions: tbx
- File size: 500MB
- Number of lines/characters: No restrictions
- Language pair (direction): Both the source and target language is included in the supported language codes (see above)
About the language settings of the glossary
Since a glossary consists of pairs of terms in two languages (source/target), you can specify either language as the source (and target). For example, when you import a glossary (tbx file) which contains the term pairs of "en" and "ja", if you set the source language to "en", the English term will be registered as the "source" and the Japanese term will be registered as the "target". Likewise, if the source language is set to "ja", the Japanese term will be registered as "source" and the English term will be registered as "target". However, only one source/target pair can be set for each glossary. You cannot save both "en" source term and "ja" source term in one glossary.
How to specify a glossary to use in a project
- After registering a glossary, you can select glossaries to be available for the group in Group Details screen. Only glossaries registered in the organization can be selected in the screen. You can select multiple glossaries for each group.
- Next, select glossaries to be available for the project in Project Details screen. Only glossaries available for the group, and those both source and target languages are identical to the project's first priority MT engine, can be selected in the screen. You can select multiple glossaries for each project.
- You can delete a glossary even if it is currently being used (selected) by a group or project. If you delete data from [Delete] button at the bottom of Glossary Details screen, you will not be able to reference it in the verification process on File Editor screen even if it is already selected on Group Details screen or Project Details screen.
