Using glossaries

Glossaries can be used for different translation aids. For each glossary, you can specify what it is used for by activating the corresponding options.

Pre-translate
SDL Passolo searches the glossary for 100% translations of an existing string. We recommend creating a QuickIndex for larger glossaries. This increases the search speed noticeably.
Fuzzy Matching
Passolo searches the glossary for fuzzy matches for an existing string. An QuickIndex will also speed up the search here.
Concordances
Searches for occurrences of a string within the glossary entries. This function only works if the glossary has a QuickIndex.
Terminology
Uses the glossary for terminology display in the translation window and for checking for correct terminology (see Checking Options). This function only works if the glossary has a QuickIndex.
Blocked words
These glossaries contain terms that are not allowed in the translation. If you want to use this check, please make sure that the "Blocked word ... in translation" option is activated in the checking options. See Checking Options.
