Create glossary rules
Use the Glossary page to define terminology rules that guide translation across the whole project.
A glossary rule tells Altified how a term should be handled. Use the Never translate section for a term that must stay unchanged in every language. Use the language glossary when a term needs a different preferred translation in each target language.
- Use Never translate for brand names, product names, or other terms that should stay exactly as written everywhere.
- Use Source term for the word or phrase in your original content.
- Use Preferred translation when a target language needs a specific wording.
- Choose the target language the rule applies to.
- Turn on Protected when brand names, product names, or legal terms should not be translated.
- Turn on case-sensitive matching only when uppercase or lowercase changes the meaning.
- Edit or delete glossary rules as product terminology changes.
