Manage Multilingual Glossaries

The glossary functions allow you to create, inspect, edit and delete glossaries. Glossaries created with the glossary function can be used in translate requests by specifying the glossary_id parameter. A glossary contains (several) dictionaries. A dictionary is a mapping of source phrases to target phrases for a single language pair. If you encounter issues, please let us know at support@DeepL.com.

Currently you can create glossaries with any of the languages DeepL supports.

The maximum size limit for a glossary is 10 MiB = 10485760 bytes and each source/target text, as well as the name of the glossary, is limited to 1024 UTF-8 bytes. A total of 1000 glossaries are allowed per account.

When creating a dictionary with target language EN, PT, or ZH, it's not necessary to specify a variant (e.g. EN-US, EN-GB, PT-PT, PT-BR, or ZH-HANS). Dictionaries with target language EN can be used in translations with either English variant. Similarly PT, and ZH dictionaries can be used in translations with their corresponding variants. (When you provide the ID of a glossary to a translation, the appropriate dictionary is automatically applied. Currently glossaries can not yet be used with source language detection.)

Glossaries created via the DeepL API are now unified with glossaries created via the DeepL website and DeepL apps. Please only use the v3 glossary API in conjunction with multilingual or edited glossaries from the website.
