Managing your website’s translations just got a whole lot easier. WPML’s latest feature allows you to import and export your entire glossary, saving you time and ensuring your translations are consistent and accurate.
This has been one of the most requested features and we’re excited to make it available to you.
Why Your Glossary Matters
Your WPML glossary is the foundation of high-quality translations. It defines the correct translations for key terms, names, and phrases that appear on your site. Without it, human translators and automatic translation may struggle with words or phrases that have multiple meanings.
WPML’s glossary works seamlessly with automatic translations, especially those powered by the WPML AI engine. WPML AI ensures that the terms in your glossary are grammatically correct and fit naturally into sentences.
For other translation engines like DeepL and Google Translate, the glossary acts as a reference, offering suggested translations for consistent results. Even when working with professional translators, the glossary ensures accuracy and uniformity across your multilingual site.
How to Use the New Import/Export Feature
Managing your glossary has never been easier:
- Go to WPML → Translation Management, click on the Tools tab, and then select the Glossary tab.
- Click the Import / export glossary button. A popup will appear with options for Import and Export.
WPML glossary uses CSV files for importing and exporting your terms. The popup also provides a link to download an example CSV file.
With just a few clicks, you can transfer your glossary between sites or share it with collaborators. It’s that simple!
