# Glossary & translation

> Control how specific terms are handled during AI enhancement and translation.

The glossary lets you define how specific terms should be treated when the AI enhances or translates your data. This ensures brand names, technical terms, and industry jargon are handled consistently.

## Term types

| Type                   | Behavior                                                             |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `do_not_translate`     | Keep the term exactly as-is in all languages. Ideal for brand names. |
| `specific_translation` | Use your provided translations instead of AI-generated ones.         |
| `context_dependent`    | Let the AI decide based on context.                                  |

## Example: brand terms

Prevent "Lasso AI" from being translated:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  await client.glossary.create({
    term: "Lasso AI",
    type: "do_not_translate",
    case_sensitive: true,
    category: "brand",
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.glossary.create(
      term="Lasso AI",
      type="do_not_translate",
      case_sensitive=True,
      category="brand",
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Example: specific translations

Provide exact translations for technical terms:

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  await client.glossary.create({
    term: "data extraction",
    type: "specific_translation",
    translations: {
      de: "Datenextraktion",
      fr: "extraction de données",
      es: "extracción de datos",
    },
  });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.glossary.create(
      term="data extraction",
      type="specific_translation",
      translations={
          "de": "Datenextraktion",
          "fr": "extraction de données",
          "es": "extracción de datos",
      },
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Using the glossary

To apply your glossary during enhancement, set `use_glossary: true`:

```typescript theme={null}
await client.enhance.cells("tbl_abc123", {
  row_ids: ["row_1", "row_2"],
  column_key: "description_de",
  prompt: "Translate the description to German.",
  target_language: "de",
  use_glossary: true,
});
```

## Managing terms

Glossary terms can be listed, updated, and deleted through the [Glossary API](/api-reference/glossary/list). Updating translations replaces all existing translations for that term.
