Apply glossary terms

When a glossary is attached to a project, the CAT editor's sidebar shows which glossary terms apply to the segment you're working on. This guide explains how to check and apply those terms.

Prerequisites​

  • The project has one or more glossaries attached.
  • You're in the CAT editor with a segment selected.

View glossary terms for a segment​

  1. In the left icon rail, click the Glossary icon (book icon).

  2. The sidebar shows up to three groups for the selected segment:

    • Missing glossary terms — required terms not yet used in your target text. Click Insert to paste the required translation at the cursor.
    • Correctly matched — terms already applied correctly. Has a Copy button, not Insert.
    • All terms: every term in the project's glossaries for this language pair, with Copy and Insert on hover. This list is currently empty because of a bug we're fixing. Until then, type in Search terms at the top of the panel to find any term; the groups above work as normal.

    Correctly matched only appears once a segment already uses a glossary term.

  3. If no glossary is attached, the panel shows "No glossary attached."

Do-not-translate terms​

Taia doesn't have a separate "do not translate" toggle — a term is marked untranslated by giving it an identical source and target value in the glossary. See Mark do-not-translate terms for the real workflow.
