*My glossary*

Maintain consistency in your translations by using glossaries (for terms) , style guides, and translation memories (for sentences).

Simple glossaries = terminology lists that include only a list of terms with their translated equivalents. Complex glossaries with definitions, descriptions, examples, synonyms, and more.

*Tips*

Keep it up to date after reviewing completed translations. Also advisable -> add a word to the glossary when there is more than one good option for a translated term. Start by adding to any existing terminology lists.
