At cofenster, we rely on DeepL to ensure translations are not only fast, but also consistent and on-brand. Glossaries play a key role in this process by allowing you to define exactly how specific terms should be translated – such as technical terminology, product names, campaign wording, or company-specific language.
A glossary consists of source terms and their preferred translations. These entries are automatically applied during translation and take priority over general translation suggestions. This ensures that important terms are used consistently across all content, regardless of language or context.
Through our DeepL integration, glossary terms are applied intelligently and with grammatical accuracy. This means translations are automatically adjusted for things like tense, case, gender, or plural forms, while still respecting the defined terminology. As a result, glossaries help maintain a clear, consistent voice and support high-quality multilingual communication at scale.
