Review terminology context and alternatives

Check extracted terms against their source context and an existing glossary before approving them.

Extraction produces candidates that need a translator’s judgment. Review context brings together source excerpts, existing glossary entries and related extraction candidates so you can decide whether to edit, approve or reject a term.

Review a candidate

1

Open extracted terminology

Choose Open then Extract terms on an available translated document, or open an existing extraction in Glossary and terminology. Find the candidate you want to check and choose Review context.

2

Read the source excerpt

The panel shows up to three stored excerpts around the source term. Read enough context to establish its meaning before judging the target. Excerpts may be shortened with an ellipsis.

3

Compare with a glossary

Choose one of your glossaries with the same source and target language pair. The panel shows entries with matching source wording and distinguishes identical bilingual pairs from alternative translations. You can review source context even if you have not created a glossary yet.

4

Check related candidates

Review candidates with the same source wording in the current termbase and language pair. Capitalization and outer spaces are ignored. The lists show up to 20 existing entries and 20 candidates, with a notice when more exist.

5

Return to approval

Close the panel. Edit, approve or reject the candidate in the extraction list. Select the intended destination there, or choose New glossary to create one. Selecting a glossary inside Review context does not change the approval destination.

What approval does

Review findingResult when approving into that glossary
The same source and target already existThe existing bilingual pair is reused rather than adding another identical pair.
The source exists with a different targetThe earlier entry is preserved and the new target is retained as an alternative.
There is no matching source entryThe approved pair is added to the selected glossary.
An existing entry is marked forbiddenReview that usage label in the glossary. An identical-pair match is not a recommendation to use forbidden wording.

Choose the intended wording

After approval, open the glossary to set Preferred, Accepted alternative or Forbidden, and add a definition or usage example. Several targets can be correct in different contexts. Conflicting preferred targets are left unresolved by automatic glossary selection; review the alternatives for the selected segment.

Group expressions by meaning

1

Select related candidates

In the terminology extraction list, select up to 100 candidates from the same language pair and terminology base. Open Meaning groups.

2

Describe the concept

Enter a concept name and a definition or usage note, then choose Create group. You decide whether synonyms and inflected forms refer to the same concept in this context.

3

Maintain the group

Edit group details to change its name or definition. Add selected candidates, remove a member, or remove the group while keeping every term. Concurrent changes are rejected until you reload the current group.

Grouping organizes your review. It preserves each source, translation and approval state; it does not merge glossary entries, approve candidates or send a new instruction to the model. Review context also lets you open the meaning groups for that candidate.

Meaning suggestions use a local multilingual embedding model. They do not use your translation-word allowance or send your terminology to an external AI provider. Your administrator must install the local matching model before this option can produce suggestions.

Missing context and grouping limits

New extractions retain source excerpts. Older document-linked extractions may recover them from stored source segments. Older upload-only extractions may need to be extracted again. An empty context panel does not mean the term is incorrect.

Review context does not modify entries or call the translation model. The context panel finds literal variants. Choose Suggest meaning groups to compare up to 100 selected candidates using the locally installed language matching model. Review the proposed source and target expressions and their context, then choose Create this reviewed group. Similarity is a hint, not proof that terms are interchangeable. Entries are never merged automatically. Manual grouping remains available when local matching is unavailable. Review the terminology before applying it to client work.
