A solid technical dictionary is a must-have for translating any website. It keeps your terminology consistent and accurate, no matter which language your visitors speak. By sticking to a clear list of terms, you avoid the confusion of messy synonyms or awkward literal translations. This doesn't just look more professional—it also helps both human translators and AI tools work from a single 'source of truth.' In the end, it makes your site easier to use and helps your brand feel reliable all over the world.
Why Some Terms Are "Sacred"
In a technical dictionary, there are terms that should never be changed or swapped for synonyms. This is vital for:
-
Safety: In a manual, an 'Emergency Stop' should never be translated simply as a 'Stop Button.'
-
Legal Liability: In contracts or technical specs, a single wrong synonym can lead to a breach of contract.
-
User Experience (UX): If a button in the interface says "Log In," the help text shouldn't refer to it as "Sign In."
You can add unlimited terms to your own dictionary in the Autolanguage plugin. These terms applies to all translation services.
