Term Bases (Strings)

Using a Term Base (Strings)

Content is machine translated from English by Phrase Language AI.

Terms added to a term base are displayed in the translation editor to suggest if and how such terms should be translated.

Once a term base is assigned to projects and/or spaces, matching terms from the term base will be highlighted in the source and target language with the following colors:

  • Green

    The term is present in the default locale and/or has been correctly inserted in the target translation.

  • Grey

    The term exists in the term base, but is not present in the source string.

Matching terms from the term base are also listed in the Terms menu on the sidebar of the translation editor. Hover on each term in the list to show a side preview with additional information retrieved from the term base.

Note

Terms recognized as 100% matches are suggested in the Terms menu, but are not used by machine translation to populate strings. Machine translation glossaries/term bases are not supported in Phrase Strings.

A colored icon next to each term indicates the status in the current translation.

Status icons:

  • Green checkmark

    The term has been correctly inserted in the target translation.

  • Yellow circle

    The term is missing in the target translation.

To insert a term from the term base in the target translation, click on it in the Terms menu.

In case of several terms matching a word or phrase in the source language, select the desired matching key from the list in the Terms tab.
