Glossary Builder Skill

Inconsistent terminology is the most visible localization failure — when "dashboard" is translated three ways across one product, it looks amateur and confuses users. A glossary (termbase) fixes the key terms once, so every translator and every locale uses the approved rendering. This skill builds it: extract the terms that matter, define them in context, and set the approved translation (or do-not-translate flag).

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• The source material / domain — product UI, docs, or a term list; and the field (so definitions are right).
• Target locale(s) — which languages need approved translations.
• Existing decisions — any brand terms, product names, or prior translations to lock in.
• Do-not-translate candidates — brand/product names, trademarks, code/API terms.

Output Format
