How it updates
How it updates: terminology is user-controlled. Localizethat may suggest a preferred term based on approved work, but a suggestion has no effect on localization until someone accepts it.
Why terminology matters
AI can often produce several linguistically correct ways to describe the same thing. Your company may still have one preferred term.
A glossary makes that decision reusable.
Example
SOURCE
External reviewers can review a localization without creating a Localizethat account.
PREFERRED TERM
External reviewer
AVOID
Guest translator
External user
Guest reviewer
Localizethat can keep “external reviewer” as the preferred product term instead of choosing a different description each time.
Another example
PREFERRED
Company context
AVOID
Brand database
AI knowledge base
Prompt library
These alternatives may be understandable, but they describe the product differently. Terminology helps keep the product language consistent.
What to add
- Preferred term
- Terms to avoid
- Definition or explanation
- Whether the term should be translated
- Language-specific preferred terminology when required
Good practice
Use the glossary for terminology decisions, not full writing rules. If the instruction is about tone or how a market communicates, it belongs in Brand Voice or Market Rules instead.
