Glossary tab: consistent terms

Define how technical terms and signal words are translated in every language.

The glossary holds terms that must be translated the same way in every language. The AI translation and the review use it. The safety signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTICE (GEFAHR, WARNUNG, VORSICHT, HINWEIS in German) are built in for every company.

Fields and options

Term

Language

The language the term is written in. It cannot be changed after the term was created.

Kind

"Technical term" (use the given translation), "Signal word" (a safety signal word) or "Do not translate" (keep the term as it is, for example brand and product names).

Translations
