What is a Terminology Database?
A terminology glossary is a small dictionary that lists important words and their correct meanings. It helps make translations clear and consistent by using the same words throughout a document.
For example:
The term "User Interface" might be written as "User Interface" or "UI". If the glossary defines it as "User Interface", all translations will follow this standard, ensuring consistency.
For brand names and technical terms, the glossary provides fixed translations to prevent confusion and maintain accuracy.
