MIcrosoft Translator plugin and glossary

Hello,

does somebody use the Microsoft plugin for MT translation?

It is possible to upload glossaries when creating a project in Trados. However I have no idea which format has to be used. Has somebody an idea or knows where to search in the web?

 

Kind Regards

  • Hi  

    Apologies for the delay in reply.
     
    Glossaries what is not clear is what you are expecting. 

    Would you like to manage glossaries within your MS Azure services so that when using the Microsoft plugin you will get MT output that automatically considers your managed glossaries?
    If yes then you need to access your Azure workspace and from there you can create a Dictionary set which relies on several supported file types including: txt, tmx, xlsx

    Screenshot of Azure AI Custom Translator interface showing the 'Manage documents' section with an overlay window titled 'Choose document set type' listing options: Training set, Test set, Tuning set, and Dictionary set.


    If however you want to use Microsoft plugin just for MT output. But use RWS glossary features as a separate reference for terminology verification then that is something entirely different.
    Most people start of with Excel lists using tools like:

    Both these apps have rich documentation to guide you further.

    Also worth mentioning Trados Studio can work with file based glossaries as referenced above. However Glossary Converter can also help you create a termbase structure (xtd) and term lists in a supported format like (xml) by which then you may want to have your terms managed online using Language Cloud. Information about this platform can be seen here

    The options are endless and we can most certainly give more specific detail, once I know what direction you are wanting.
