Termbase Management
More than just a glossary, a termbase is a central source of approved terms - complete with definitions, translation equivalents, and usage guidance. It helps everyone stay on the same page, from translators and reviewers to your internal teams.
Smart words. Smarter workflows.
A well-managed termbase does more than improve translation quality. It helps teams work faster, reduces back-and-forth during review, and cuts down on costly mistakes.
With LanguageWire, your approved terminology is built into the translation process, so language experts, reviewers and internal teams are always working with the most accurate terms.

The right terms at the right time
Termbase Management makes a real impact when language needs to move fast, stay accurate, and remain consistent across borders and teams.
-
New markets, same message: Keep your brand voice clear and consistent as you expand.
-
No room for error: Ensure critical terms are used accurately across content.
-
Tidy up the terminology: Turn scattered lists into one reliable termbase.
-
Time for an update: Apply brand or product changes quickly and consistently.
Terms of scale
Manage multiple termbases for different brands, teams or markets. Add, browse or update entries across all your language pairs. You can also flag terms not to be used to keep everyone aligned.
Each entry includes approval status, notes and timestamps, so you always know what’s current and who approved it.

The hidden cost of unclear terminology
Without a centralised termbase, teams often spend time debating terminology instead of delivering content.
Review time can be lost resolving terminology disputes across departments. Misaligned terms can delay launches, frustrate reviewers, and dilute your brand message across markets.
A termbase helps you move from repeated conversations to a shared understanding—reducing unnecessary back-and-forth and freeing up your team to focus on impact, not interpretation.
