Term Bases

Term Bases Overview

Article content is machine translated from English to other languages by Phrase Translate.

A term base is a terminology database. Storing terminology helps keep translations consistent within projects and ensures translators use correct designated terms.

Term bases are concept-based; a single term in a language can have one or more counterparts in other languages. The term base module also supports multiple languages in a single term base.
