Personal glossary

The Personal glossary helps the app translate names, product names, and industry terms consistently, for example by always translating a term the way you want.

Add an entry to the glossary

1. Open Settings → Translation. (This is the group of translation-related settings, including Latency and Personal glossary.)
2. Click Personal glossary. The button shows how many entries you have.
3. Click Add term, then enter the Term and the Preferred translation.
4. Click Done.

Only pairs with both fields filled in are saved.

When the glossary applies

The glossary is used when translating with a language model (Local model or Cloud) and when you polish a recording. Apple's Default translation doesn't use this glossary.

Translation latency

Also in this group, Latency (120 to 1200 ms) sets how long the app waits for a complete sentence before translating. Lower latency shows translations sooner, and higher latency usually gives more coherent translations.
