XTM Cloud incorporates a comprehensive terminology module. This is a database of your terms which includes a concept, definition, context, image, multilingual translations, and remarks. In XTM Workbench, the system identifies and highlights terms in the source text that are in the term base. Approved translations for terms recognized in the active segment are displayed in the docked panel.

To have access to the terminology section, the user needs to have a Terminologist role applied in the user’s settings.
