They don\u2019t know which terms are non-translatable, what phrasing you prefer, or how your tone should shift across markets. Without guidance, they make assumptions, and that leads to mismatched language and confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does a custom glossary solve inconsistency?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, a custom glossary provides your translation tools with the necessary information to produce accurate, on-brand content. It defines how key terms should be used based on your examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.panalingua.ch\/en\/\">Panalingua<\/a>, we create glossaries from your actual content, including product descriptions, internal documents, and marketing materials. We combine AI-assisted term extraction with expert review to deliver a custom glossary that reflects your voice and terminology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of a custom glossary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consistency<\/strong>: Use the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.panalingua.ch\/en\/services\/terminology-consistency\/\">terminology<\/a>, every time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accuracy<\/strong>: Avoid incorrect translations of products, names, or technical terms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Efficiency<\/strong>: Reduce review and revision time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scalability<\/strong>: Translate more without losing control of your voice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Professionalism<\/strong>: Maintain your wording and terminology across all content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom glossaries: the missing link in machine translation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Already using machine translation? A custom glossary makes it better. Here are a few tools into which you can integrate a custom glossary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>DeepL<\/strong>: Upload your glossary for targeted translation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Google Translate and AutoML<\/strong>: Use glossary imports for domain-specific control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ChatGPT<\/strong>: Add terms as context or prompt instructions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Microsoft Translator<\/strong>: Apply glossary rules to API-driven workflows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LLMs<\/strong>: Fine-tune or prompt with glossary data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We also support popular CAT tools, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trados.com\/\">Trados<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.memoq.com\/\">MemoQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s included in a Panalingua custom glossary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>40 key terms based on your current content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For the language pair of your choice (with the option to expand)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewed and curated by a professional linguist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delivered in a format that fits your MT or translation tool<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional: creation of a style guide to support your tone and typographical choices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Need more terms or languages? We can scale your glossary as your organisation grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to improve your machine translation results?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re seeing inconsistent output from your MT tool, a custom glossary is the missing piece in the puzzle.
