Translate better with glossaries

You can set up exactly how you want Tilde MT to translate words and phrases specific to your company or industry by adding them to your unique glossary.

Improve machine translation output with customised glossaries

Using your glossary together with machine translation automatically customises your translations. When you define unique glossaries for each translation project, domain, and purpose, they can then be used and reused during the machine translation process. Managing, editing, and sharing your glossary collections is effortless with the Tilde Term portal, which is interconnected with Tilde MT.

Frequently asked questions

What is a glossary?

Glossaries allow you to specify how Tilde MT should translate specific words and phrases, and to define which words should not be translated (non-translatables).

Where can I use glossaries?

Glossaries can be used to translate texts and documents in Tilde MT. By installing translation plugins, you can also use them in Trados Studio and MemoQ CAT tools. Currently, glossaries are not yet supported by Tilde’s website translation tool, MS Outlook add-in, Phrase (Memsource) plugins, Tilde Translator Android, and the iPhone app.
