How to setup and use glossary with AI translation •
What is Glossary?
The Glossary acts as a "guide" for AI translations, prioritizing any words you add when generating translations.
Note:
The Glossary only affects future AI translations and doesn’t change existing translations immediately after creation. To update Glossary Translations, refer to Updating Glossary below.
On this page:
- Setting Up Glossary
- Removing Glossary Entry
- Updating Glossary Translations
- Removing Glossary Translations
Use case:
You created an AI translation for your product category, including your store name, like this product:
When changing languages to Japanese, the brand name is also translated. However, you want the app to keep the store name unchanged.
Although, the issue is that manually updating each instance to change this to "Angel 48" will be time-consuming. Here you can use the Glossary function to make this quicker, while also preventing similar issues in the future.
Setting up Glossary
When accessing the Glossary, you can observe the following:
- Information & FAQ about the feature - gives you information you should know about the feature and how to use it.
- Glossary Status - shows if Glossary is currently active or not.
- Case Sensitive - shows if the use of Case sensitive for Glossary entries is enabled or not.
- Glossary table - shows the entries created in this page, and their equivalent translation.
To begin setting it up, please follow the steps below:
- Click "Add New Glossary". Enter the base text on the left and the desired translations for different languages. For example:
- Click "Save", and make sure to enable the Glossary Status.
- Afterward, you can create a new AI translation task, and it should now prioritize the Glossary entry created. For more information on how to use the AI translation, please check this guide.
Removing Glossary Entry

- You will see a Red X Icon next to the entry, you can click on that first. This will remove the entry.
