List the terms that need one preferred wording
Add character names, brands, places or project names to the glossary with a preferred translation. Keep it focused and avoid conflicting entries for the same source term. This example uses the fictional prop name Moon Lantern.
Add context that resolves ambiguity
In the context and glossary settings, explain the scene and the meaning of unusual terms. For example: two characters are organizing props in a craft workshop; Moon Lantern is the name of a prop. Keep the context relevant.
Try a representative excerpt
Choose a passage containing several names and terms. Review forms of address, tone and meaning, as well as the preferred wording. Trial availability depends on the account limit and source-character cap.

Save and lock manual corrections
Edit a translation and save it to lock that cue. Later translation skips locked cues; unlock one if it needs to be translated again. Changing the glossary does not automatically rewrite existing translations.
Treat consistency as a review task
This example comes from a real English-to-Chinese test, but one sample does not guarantee every file or language pair. Abbreviations, wordplay and references still need contextual review. Search for important names again before exporting.
