Glossary
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Each project can have an assigned glossary for any language as a shorthand for storing
|
|
terminology. Consistency is more easily maintained this way.
|
|
Terms from the glossary containing words from the currently translated string can be
|
|
displayed in the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
Managing glossaries
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 4.5
|
|
|
|
Glossaries are now regular translation components and you can use all
|
|
Weblate features on them — commenting, storing in a Git repository, or
|
|
adding explanations.
|
|
|
|
Use any component as a glossary by turning on :ref:`component-is_glossary`.
|
|
|
|
An empty glossary for a given project is automatically created with the project.
|
|
Glossaries are shared among all components of the same project, and optionally
|
|
with other projects using :ref:`component-links`.
|
|
|
|
The glossary component looks like any other component in Weblate:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can browse all glossary terms:

|

|
|
|
|
Glossary terms
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Glossary terms are translated the same way regular strings are. You can
|
|
toggle additional features using the :guilabel:`Tools` menu for each term.

Not translatable terms
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 4.5
|
|
|
|
Glossary terms which are read-only are not meant to be translated. You can use
|
|
this for names or other terms which should not change while translating. Such
|
|
terms are visually highlighted in the glossary sidebar.
|
|
|
|
The terms can be flagged in the source language using :guilabel:`Tools` ↓
|
|
:guilabel:`Mark as read-only`. In the background this toggles the ``read-only``
|
|
flag of the string.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:ref:`custom-checks`
|
|
|
|
.. _glossary-forbidden:
|
|
|
|
Forbidden translations
|
|
++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 4.5
|
|
|
|
You can flag certain glossary terms as forbidden, meaning ones _not_ to be used
|
|
for translations. Use this to clarify translation when some words are
|
|
ambiguous or could have unexpected meanings.
|
|
|
|
Terms can be flagged using :guilabel:`Tools` ↓
|
|
:guilabel:`Mark as forbidden translation`. In the background this toggles the ``forbidden``
|
|
flag of the string.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:ref:`custom-checks`
|
|

Terminology
|
|
+++++++++++
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 4.5
|
|
|
|
Flagging certain glossary terms as terminology puts them in
|
|
all glossary languages. Use this to flag important terms which should be
|
|
translated consistently.
|
|
|
|
The terms can be flagged in the source language using :guilabel:`Tools` ↓
|
|
:guilabel:`Mark as terminology`. In the background this toggles the
|
|
``terminology`` flag of the string.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:ref:`custom-checks`
|
|
|
|
.. _glossary-variants:
|
|
|
|
Variants
|
|
++++++++
|
|
|
|
Variants are a generic way to group strings together. All term variants are
|
|
listed in the glossary sidebar when translating.
|
|
|
|
.. hint::
|
|
|
|
You can use this to add abbreviations or shorter expressions for a term.
