How do I add a Glossary Term?

Localize allows you to define glossary terms that are used only in a specific project, or that can be used across all of your projects. This allows you to define cross-project glossary terms for things like your company name, etc.

To add a Glossary term, navigate to the the Phrases page of your Localize dashboard and select Glossary. 

Adding a Glossary Term

To add a new glossary term:

1. Click the Create Glossary Term button.
2. In the Create Glossary Term popup window:
   a. Enter the new term.
   b. Select whether to add it to all projects or to this specific project.
3. Add the precise translation of the term for each language.
4. Add context to the term where necessary by clicking Add Context from the drop-down menu.

Please note, Glossary entries are case-sensitive, so you may need to add multiple versions of a Glossary term to cover all forms of a glossary entry that might be found in your phrases. For example:

• ACME Company
• Acme Company

You would need to create 2 glossary entries with their own translations.

If you have Glossary Sync enabled, your Glossary terms will be retroactively updated every time a new Glossary term is added. For more information, please visit our Glossary article in the Help Center.
