Ordliste

With a glossary, you can create, store, and manage all the project terminology in one place. Hovedsigtet med terminologi er at forklare visse specifikke termer eller dem, som ofte benyttes i projektet, så de kan oversættes korrekt og ensartet.

Each glossary term is displayed as an underlined word in the Editor. Hold markøren over det understregede ord for at fremhæve det og se dets oversættelse, ordklasse og definition (hvis oplyst).

Creating Glossary

Besides the project glossaries that are automatically created along the respective projects, you can also create separate glossaries, fill them with the appropriate content by uploading your existing glossaries in TBX, XLSX, or CSV format, and then assign these glossaries to the needed projects.

To create a glossary, follow these steps:

1. Open your profile home page and select Resources > Glossaries.
2. Click Create Glossary.
3. In the appeared dialog, name your glossary and select a default language that will be displayed first in the table of glossary records.
4. (Optional) Assign the glossary to the needed projects. You can skip this step and assign a glossary later.
5. Klik på Opret.

Managing Glossary Concepts and Terms

Depending on your project needs, you can use a simpler approach with one term per language or make your glossary more detailed and complete using the advanced functionality that glossary concepts can offer.

Adding Glossary Concepts and Terms

Concept – the highest-level terminology element that contains concept-level data (e.g., concept definition, subject, etc.), including language-level (i.e., term language) and term-level data (e.g., term, the term’s part of speech, type, etc.). Simply put, a concept incorporates glossary terms and their variations with multiple translations and other relevant information.

You can specify the following concept and term details when adding glossary concepts.

Concept details:

• Definition – concept definition.
• Subject – a branch of knowledge the concept is related to.
• Note – short notes about a concept that might be helpful to translators.
• URL – URL to the web page with relevant information about a concept.
• Figure – URL to the relevant image.

Term details:

• Part of speech – e.g., noun, verb, adjective, etc.
• Type – e.g., full form, acronym, abbreviation, etc.
• Status – preferred, admitted, not recommended, obsolete.
• Gender – term gender.
• Description – term description.
• Note – short notes about a term that might be helpful to translators.
• URL – URL to the web page with relevant information about a term.

To add a new glossary concept, follow these steps:

1. Open your profile home page and select Resources > Glossaries. Alternatively, open your project and go to Settings > Glossary.
2. Click View Records on the needed glossary.
3. Click Add concept.
4. In the appeared dialog, select the language from the drop-down menu, and specify the term and all related details. Klik på for automatisk at bestemme ordklassen.

6. Specify the concept details.
7. Klik på Opret.

To add glossary concepts via the Editor, follow these steps:

1. In the Editor, select the needed word in the source string.
2. In the appeared menu, select Create Term. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut to add a concept (by default, Ctrl+G).

Editing Glossary Concepts and Terms

Downloading and Uploading Glossary

To download or upload the glossary, follow these steps:

1. Open your profile home page and select Resources > Glossaries. Alternatively, open your project and go to Settings > Glossary.
2. Click View Records on the needed glossary.
3. Klik på Download eller Upload.

You can upload and download the glossary in the following file formats: TBX (v2), TBX (v3), CSV, XLSX.

If you upload a glossary in CSV or XLS/XLSX file formats, select the language for each column and the column value (term, description, or part of speech) in the configuration dialog.

When downloading a glossary from Crowdin, some browsers may add an XML extension to the downloaded file so that the file may be named sample.tbx.xml. To import such a file back to Crowdin, rename it to sample.tbx.

Automatic Column Identification for Glossary in CSV and XLSX File Formats

Once you upload your glossary file in CSV or XLSX formats, the system automatically detects the file scheme based on the column names specified in the first row. The identification is performed in a case-insensitive manner. Columns that weren’t detected automatically will be left as Not used/Not chosen for manual configuration. Automatic column identification is especially helpful when you upload glossary spreadsheets that contain many languages and additional columns (e.g., Status, Type, Gender, etc.).

To get the most out of the automatic column detection, we recommend that you name the columns in your CSV or XLSX glossary files using the patterns described below:

• Term details – {column-type} [{crowdin-language-code}] (e.g., Term [en], Description [en], Part of Speech [en], etc.).
• Concept details – Concept {concept-details-type} (e.g., Concept Definition, Concept Subject, Concept Note, etc.).

To redetect the glossary file scheme, click Detect Configuration.
