Supports translation of documents with working glossaries, translation memory and editorial verification.
Common names in multiple files
When the directory is localized, the name of one part appears in the card, instructions and signature. Smartcat allows you to link the project with a glossary and translation memory. Translation with AI becomes the first option, and the editor checks the segments and corrects the terms. The developer distinguishes several types of linguistic resources and their application to the project.
A glossary is needed for approved words and titles. Translation memory helps to reuse previously processed segments. It is useful to remove inappropriate versions from it in advance.
Checklist before release
Upload a sample document containing a table, a short paragraph and two part names. Add a test glossary. In the translation, find terms that have both general and specialist meanings. Check that each term uses the correct sense and that a previously approved segment has not carried an exception into the new text.
Open the exported document outside the Smartcat editor. Make sure that the lines of the table remain in their places, the links lead to the same place, and the name of the product coincides with the original. If the translation is sent to another team, save the source edition number.
Project rights and scope
The composition of the command capabilities depends on the tariff. Check who can edit the project, change the glossary and approve segments. For frequently updated files, it is useful to fix the responsible person for the terminology so that new options do not fall into the memory of translations without verification. Keep the old edition separately.
