[Resolved] Import glossary terms

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client wants to import glossary terms to translate them manually or automatically before using automatic translations for a page available in two languages.
Solution:
We explained that when using the Advanced Translation Editor or automatic translation for a post or page, the client can see and insert the translations specified in the glossary. We recommended using DeepL for automatic translation in conjunction with the glossary. However, we clarified that it is not possible to import glossary terms from external sources. For more information on how to create and manage glossary entries, we provided a documentation link:

Hello! I have page in 2 languages. I would like to translate it in more languages using automatic translations. But before that, I would like to import all my glossary terms to translate them manually by native language speaker.

Is it possible to import all the translations JUST from the glossary? They will be translated and added to glossary term translations (either manually or if You can suggest, then with some automatic process).

Hello,

When you use the Advanced Translation Editor / automatic translation to translate a post or page that includes terms from your glossary, you can see and insert the translations you specified in the glossary.

You can use the glossary with automatic translation if you use DeepL to translate your site

I am afraid there is no way for you to import the glossary from external sources.

Let us know if you have any other doubts or if I have missed answering your questions.

Thanks, Drazen, for your answer!

Would be nice feature (import/export glossary terms) to include in translation management! It is better to define technical terms, otherwise I see that Automatic translations are not consistent with them and improvises with them:)

And ok - will use copy->paste method! 😉

Have a nice day! 🙂
