How to Create a Glossary in EventCAT OnlineMeeting

Why are Glossaries Important for Real-Time Interpretation?

Glossaries are essential tools for ensuring accurate and consistent interpretation of specialized terms, acronyms, brand names, and industry-specific language during live meetings. By helping EventCAT’s AI translation engine understand and apply these terms correctly, glossaries improve translation quality, reduce errors, and enhance the overall participant experience.

Creating a Glossary in EventCAT OnlineMeeting

1. Go to EventCAT:

   • Select OnlineMeeting as your product.

2. Creating a Glossary from Scratch:

   • Click Glossaries in the left-hand menu and select Create Glossary.

• Enter a title for your glossary.

• Choose the languages you want to use (e.g., English, Spanish, Korean).

• Click Create Glossary to proceed.

* You’ll now see a spreadsheet-style editor where you can input key terms, definitions, and relevant phrases. This method is best if your team has an internal glossary or translation team.

3. Creating a Glossary by Uploading a File:

   • If you already have a glossary document (PDF format), you can upload it directly.

   • Click File Upload, choose your PDF, and click Upload and Next.

   • EventCAT will process the file, which might take up to 2 minutes.

4. File Upload Guidelines:

   • Maximum file size: 50MB per file

   • Up to 4 files allowed per meeting

   • Supported format: PDF, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Word.

Using the Glossary in OnlineMeeting

1. Set Up the Meeting:

   • Go to the Invite AI Interpreter screen when scheduling your meeting.

   • Select your preferred translation model and fill in the meeting details.

2. Add a Glossary:

   • In the Glossary section, you can:

     • Use an Existing Glossary (you can upload up to 10 glossaries).

     • Create a New Glossary by selecting either the From Scratch or File Upload options.

     • Alternatively, you can proceed without a glossary, but using one is recommended for accuracy.

By adding a glossary, you ensure more accurate translation during your meetings, making the process more seamless and improving the overall experience for your participants.
