Glossary

Last updated
The Glossary tab allows administrators to manage translation entries, import/export data, and configure settings for optimized translation workflows. Entries in the Glossary will override Google Cloud automatic translation within the domain.
Customize translations to fit the specific needs and terminology of your organization. Add a word or phrase to the glossary/table along with the preferred translation of that word in different languages.
Admins can enable or disable the glossary feature to influence translations:
ON: User-posted content will follow glossary rules.
OFF: Glossary translations will not apply to content.
Admins can show or hide specific languages in the glossary table through the Show/Hide Languages option, with default visibility for 10 key languages, including Spanish, French, and Chinese. The table supports sorting and pagination for ease of use.
Glossary entries can be added, edited, deleted, or imported via CSV, regardless of the feature’s ON/OFF status.
Admins can add, edit, or delete glossary entries.
Adding Entries: Clicking Add opens a form to input translations. The English field is mandatory.
Options include saving or saving and adding another entry. Each addition triggers an API request to update the Google glossary.
Editing Entries: Hovering over a row reveals an edit option. Changes immediately update the table and Google glossary.
Deleting Entries: Deletes a translation after confirmation, removing it permanently from the glossary.
Admins have the option to bulk manage glossary entries via CSV file.
Import: Upload a CSV file to add or update glossary entries. Templates and language code references are provided. The first row of the CSV must be a header row containing valid language codes. Please download the provided 'Language Codes' CSV to access the complete list of valid codes.
Importing a new CSV will overwrite all existing entries in the glossary. If you have previously added or imported items, it is recommended to use the 'Export Current Glossary' option on the top, make any additions or edits to the exported file, and then re-import it.
Export: Exports the current glossary data for external use. Once requested, admins will receive a notification when the file is ready to download.
