Leverage Terminology Lists

Terminology lists provide users with the ability to standardize term usage and to control the use of terms, variants of terms, and parts of speech allowed for terms. A terminology list includes a glossary, a specialized list of source terms, their definitions, and their preferred translations. It also includes alternate phrases for blacklisted terms.

To set up a terminology list, refer to Configure Terminology.

When you select a segment, it highlights all terms within that segment that are in the terminology list with possible translations in the Terminology pane.

  Note:

There are two possible methods for moving among terms in the Terminology pane.

  • Click Next Term or Previous Term.

  • Press Ctrl+8 or Ctrl+9.

The term highlight identifies the type of translation match between the source term and the terminology list.

  Best Practice:

Use Highlight All Terms to view highlights for term matches in the open file.
