How are glossaries made?

Glossaries are created on the basis of original and translated texts by analyzing parallel texts, revealing the most frequently used terms and phrases.

Glossaries may contain any elements of the language, from abbreviations to full sentences and paragraphs (slogans and product descriptions, for example).

After the glossary is approved by a client, very simple but frequently used terms can be added (for example, requirement to write in all documentation not "client", but "customer"), as well as a range of stylistic requirements and sentence construction requirements.

These parallel texts can be created using originals and translations from a client as well as in the process of translating. Glossaries can be compiled in the following formats:
