Entry lifecycle
Track draft, review, approved, deprecated, conflict, and needs-update states.
Feature
Glossary creation
Create living glossaries that carry context, ownership, examples, and translation status.
Glossaries that keep moving.
A useful glossary is more than a spreadsheet. It needs preferred terms, forbidden terms, definitions, notes, examples, sources, domains, approval status, and language-specific equivalents.
Idanium treats glossary creation as an ongoing workflow, where entries mature from candidate to reviewed to approved and can be revised when domain usage changes.
Rich context
Add examples, source links, domain labels, ownership, reviewer notes, and usage constraints.
Bulk import
Turn existing glossaries, terminology lists, and corpus extracts into structured entries.
Team governance
Assign reviewers, lock approved terms, and route disputed entries to domain owners.
What this adds
The glossary becomes a controlled operating system for words.
A full glossary should help people choose terms, explain decisions, and avoid repeating old mistakes.
For translators
See preferred terms, examples, and warnings directly during translation or review.
For reviewers
Approve or reject entries with evidence and leave decisions visible to the next project.
For organizations
Standardize language across departments, documents, contractors, and language pairs.
Connected records
Every glossary entry can become richer over time.
The system starts with terms, but it should accumulate evidence, decisions, and relationships.
Definitions
Short descriptions, expert definitions, plain-language explanations, and learner-friendly notes.
Equivalents
Language-specific translations with register, source quality, and approval status.
Restrictions
Forbidden terms, jurisdiction limits, audience warnings, and required review paths.
Usage history
Where the term appeared, which translation was accepted, and whether it still fits.
