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
Go to EventCAT:
Select OnlineMeeting as your product.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
