How can a termbase (glossary) solve the issue of mistranslated brand names?
“AI may sometimes translate brand names (such as Apple) into generic nouns (“苹果”), or apply different translations to the same term within a single document.”
Root Cause Analysis
Forced matching mechanism
Merchant Translation AI supports uploading termbases in .xlsx or .tbx formats. During translation, the system first performs term lookup; when a source term matches, it forcibly applies your defined translation, taking precedence over the AI’s autonomous judgment.
Context-aware fine-tuning
Unlike basic 'find and replace' methods, Shangyi AI’s semantic-based terminology injection ensures accurate term usage. It directs the AI to embed designated terms while preserving grammatical integrity, minimizing awkward constructions.
Final Solution Summary
Termbases are the cornerstone of enterprise-grade document translation, ensuring uniform expression across large-scale, collaborative projects.
