- If you do not already have a glossary, create a new one to use with your Lingotek projects.
- If you have a glossary in a non-standard format, you can convert it to an .XLS document and then upload it to the Lingotek TMS.
Glossaries are private to the person that created them, but can be shared with as many or few people as desired.
If the glossary needs to be exported, it can be downloaded to Excel; additionally, glossary entries can be managed or deleted as needed (or if needed, delete entire glossary).
Multiple target languages can be added to each glossary; or as required, translate a glossary into another target language.
Once the glossary is created, rename, edit, or manage it in a few simple steps.

Import Document Translations to Glossary
For convenience, an entire translation document can be imported into a glossary. This is a simple way to create a new glossary if you already have a list of key terms (but it is not yet translated).
Once the translations are complete, they can be imported to the glossary of your choice.

Click to open a Project from the Lingotek Dashboard.Click to open a Document. This will open to a list of target translations.
You will be able to upload content to your glossary by target. Click the check box next to the target(s) you wish to include in your glossary.
Above the Targets list, click the Actions drop down menu and select Import to Glossary.
All of the segments in the selected document will be added to the selected glossary.

You may wish to check each segment for accuracy before using the import to glossary feature.

Enterprise has developed a true concept-based Glossary system. This means that the Terminology Manager creates a new entry in the system which is made up of a concept and its matching terms. The concept is made up of a definition and other fields, and terms are words or phrases that fit the definition of the concept. Each term is specific to a language or a full locale.
