How do you set a glossary once and enforce it everywhere?
Without a glossary, an AI translation can render the same term differently from one chapter to the next. Glossary enforcement is the part of professional translation that hobbyist tools skip, and in Transept it’s the default.
Build or import
Add source and target pairs by hand, upload a CSV, or have Transept draft a glossary from a document you’ve already translated.
Scope to client or project
A glossary can belong to one document, a project, or your whole account. Switch glossaries on for each translation, so one client’s terms won’t leak into another client’s work.
Enforced during translation
Terms are pinned during the run, every alternative respects the glossary, and the QA pass catches anything that slips through.
Edit once, share it
Edit a glossary and the change applies to every translation from then on. Teams share glossaries, and agencies reuse them across client projects.
Glossary enforcement is the one feature that separates professional translation tools from hobby ones. A generic AI translator treats your character’s name as a word it can paraphrase, and by page 50 the protagonist has three names. A product feature named the same way on forty English marketing pages turns into seven different German versions. A legal definition that has to stay exact gets creatively rewritten. A glossary in Transept is a set of source and target term pairs with optional notes. You attach it to documents or projects, Transept enforces it on every translation pass, and Smart Proofread checks it afterward. Build a glossary once and reuse it across hundreds of documents, and the terminology stays put.
Where is consistency the whole game?
Fiction with recurring characters
Aurelia stays Aurelia. The dialogue stays in voice. The detective’s catchphrase doesn’t shift in the third chapter.
Product copy at scale
Button labels, feature names, and version numbers stay pinned, never paraphrased.
Regulated content
Legal and medical terms that need to stay exact, with uncertain matches flagged for human review.
4× cheaper model, matched
Give a model the decisions behind past translations, not just their final wording, and it stops guessing. With enough of that context, a model costing a quarter as much matched a premium one on our own benchmarks.

FAQ
- You can upload a CSV, paste from a spreadsheet, or build a draft automatically from a document you’ve already translated. The auto-build picks up recurring proper nouns and brand terms.
- As many as you like, on every plan. Most professionals keep one per client and some keep one per project. Teams share them across members.
- Add a note to the term with the context, the register, and when to use each variant. The AI reads the notes and picks the right one.
- If it misses a term, Smart Proofread is the safety net. It re-reads the document with your glossary at hand and fixes the blocks where a term slipped, and you keep or revert each change afterwards.
- Enforcement is the core of the feature. Machine translation with a glossary usually means “the model saw your terms and mostly respected them.” In Transept every term pair goes into the prompt on every pass, and Smart Proofread re-checks the output for anything missed. That is how a glossary holds up in practice.
- A glossary pins specific words or phrases (“Aurelia” → “Aurelia”, “the Service” → “le Service”). Translation memory matches whole sentences or segments you’ve translated before. The two complement each other, and most professional translators use both. Transept has both: you build a glossary for your terms, and your approved translations feed a memory the AI reuses on the next run.
- A glossary per client is the most common setup. Build one glossary per client (or per project) and switch on the ones each translation needs. Terminology never leaks between clients, and switching between projects takes one click.
- There are three ways: add terms by hand, upload a CSV of source/target pairs, or generate a draft from a document you’ve already translated. Transept scans the source text and its translation, picks out recurring proper nouns and brand terms, and proposes a draft glossary you can edit before saving.
