What is a glossary? A glossary is a list of terms with their translations and definitions. It’s an accumulation of terminology within an industry or subject area that helps translators maintain consistency throughout their output. It guarantees uniform and accurate results for key terms, technical vocabulary and industry or content-specific jargon. It is either predefined or will be created and/or updated by the translators working on the project.
What is a style guide? A style guide, which is mostly provided by the client, serves as a specific guideline that defines the overall style, tone, formatting and presentation of content. It provides crucial information about brand identity that should be transferred to the translated output and instructs on writing, structuring and displaying information across all documents and projects. By setting rules and specifications for elements like grammar, punctuation, capitalization, syntax, abbreviations, etc., a style guide ensures consistency and coherence throughout all content.
