Glossary
Give names and terms a fixed translation, and choose the websites each list applies to.
A glossary tells the AI how to translate the words that matter to you: a product name that should stay in English, a term your field translates a particular way, a character’s name in a novel. Open Advanced → Glossary in the settings.
Glossaries travel in the prompt, so they only work with AI providers, including the built-in AI. Google, Microsoft, DeepL and DeepLX ignore them.
Create a glossary
- Click Add a glossary and give it a name.
- Add terms. For each one, enter the term and the translation you want. Leave the translation empty to keep the term exactly as it is.
- Optionally set the target language a term applies to, and Match case if
Appleandappleshould be treated differently. - Make sure Enable is on, both on the page and on the glossary.
Keep each glossary to its websites
Under Websites, list where a glossary applies. Leave it empty to use it everywhere.
| Pattern | Matches |
|---|---|
example.com |
That address only |
*.example.com |
example.com and all its subdomains |
example.com/docs/* |
Only that part of the site |
This way a list of work terms doesn’t follow you onto everything else.
How terms are used
Only the terms that appear in a paragraph are sent along with it, so a long glossary doesn’t make every request longer.
Import and export
Terms import and export as a CSV file with the columns source, target, targetLanguage and caseSensitive, which is exactly the file Export writes. When importing, choose Add to list to merge or Replace list to start over.
Limits
Up to 50 glossaries and 20,000 terms in total, each term and translation up to 200 characters.
Sync
Glossaries are included when you sync to Google Drive or export your settings. See config and backup.
