The role of glossaries in translation accuracy

I’ve been diving deeper into the use of glossaries for technical translation projects, and I find they really help maintain consistency in terminology. Are there specific tools or approaches you all recommend for creating and managing glossaries effectively? I’d love to hear what works for you.

I’ve found that using a collaborative platform like Google Sheets for managing glossaries makes updates easier for everyone involved, especially if you’re working with a team. > ‘I’d love to hear what works for you’ — what’s been your strategy for ensuring everyone stays on the same page with terminology?

Great point about consistency! Have you tried using tools like SDL MultiTerm for streamlined glossary management? :glowing_star:.

Glossaries are a game changer! I use @SDL MultiTerm for consistency, but I’ve also found Google Docs great for collaborative editing. What’s your go-to glossary tool?
