Glossary

Glossary helps you control how specific words or groups of words should translate. Current path in the app: https://app.voicecheap.ai/en/settings?settingsTab=customization&customizationTab=glossary

​
How glossary scope works

  • there is one glossary scope per source language
  • the same source term can translate differently depending on the target language
  • team guests can read glossary entries but cannot edit them

​
Smart vs Strict mode

VoiceCheap supports two main glossary application modes for a source-language glossary:
Smart mode accepts close grammatical variants.Use it when you want the same glossary choice to survive pluralization, gender agreement, tense shifts, or nearby grammatical variations.

​
What you can do in the interface

  • filter by language
  • change the source-language scope
  • import an .xlsx file
  • download a template
  • view or edit entries manually
  • switch the default application mode

​
Importing from Excel

The glossary import flow supports .xlsx files. VoiceCheap also provides a template and an example-based flow so you can start from the correct format more quickly. Good workflow:
  1. choose the source language
  2. download the template
  3. fill the source column and target-language columns
  4. preview the import
  5. confirm once the rows look correct

​
When glossary matters most

Glossary is most useful for:
  • brand terminology
  • legal or regulated wording
  • product names that must stay untranslated
  • recurring terminology in multilingual series content
