Glossaries

DeepL glossaries enforce fixed translations for specific terms (e.g. product names, brand names).

  1. Create the glossary in your DeepL account (define source and target language, maintain the terms)
  2. Copy the glossary ID from your DeepL account
  3. In the plugin, either store it under Settings > Default Glossary ID (applies to all jobs) or specify it per job in the job dialog
  • A DeepL glossary is bound to a language pair. If the language pair of a job does not match the glossary, the job fails and shows the DeepL error message in the queue. Use a separate glossary per language pair.
  • Without a glossary specification in the job, the configurable default glossary applies.
  • Glossaries and the translation cache are independent: changing the glossary does not alter already cached texts. To re-translate with the new glossary, run the job with “Ignore cache” enabled.
