DeepL Glossary Enforcement Workflow (Delivery)

DeepL Glossary Enforcement Workflow (Delivery)

1. 01

   Open the DeepL Pro dashboard and navigate to the Glossaries section under Settings.

   Ensure you are on the Growth plan or higher, as it supports up to 2,000 glossaries, which is sufficient for managing multiple client brand terminologies.

2. 02

   Create a new glossary for the client by clicking 'Create glossary' and naming it with the client's brand or project code.

   Use a consistent naming convention like 'ClientName_Glossary' to avoid confusion across multiple accounts.

3. 03

   Upload a CSV or TBX file containing the client's approved brand terms and their translations.

   The file should include source terms, target translations, and optional notes. This ensures the glossary enforces brand terminology across all translations.

4. 04

   Activate the glossary for the specific translation project by selecting it in the 'Glossary' dropdown within the DeepL translation interface.

   This applies the glossary to all text, document, and API translations, ensuring consistency without manual post-editing.

5. 05

   Test the glossary by translating a sample document that contains brand terms.

   Verify that the glossary terms are correctly applied and that formatting is preserved, as DeepL maintains document-level formatting.

6. 06

   Integrate the glossary into the client's API workflow by including the glossary_id parameter in API requests.

   This allows automated translation in the client's content pipeline to use the same brand terminology, ensuring consistency across all channels.

7. 07

   Document the glossary configuration and share the glossary ID with the client's team for reference.

   Include instructions on how to update the glossary as new brand terms emerge, ensuring long-term consistency.
