Tips 

  • Custom dictionary should be reserved for the most critical terms and phrases that have a significant impact on translations. The goal of custom dictionary is to extend brand promise by protecting only those specific product related terms.
  • We do not advise replacing frequently-used words, like "the" or "a / an".
  • Custom Dictionary does not apply to page titles. 

Limitations

  • Complex content needs human translation for the most accurate result.
  • Some examples of complex content include legal, financial, medical, or highly technical knowledge.
  • The upper limit for dictionary size is 300 target terms.
