Description

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Common terminology status values include preferred, admitted, deprecated, and forbidden. In the context of Language Services, this helps translators, writers, and reviewers decide which term to use. A glossary shows you what term to use and what term not to use. That’s where forbidden terms come in: designations explicitly marked “do not use” or "forbidden" within a defined context. Imagine a company making this terminology decision: 🚫 Artificial Intelligence → ✅ Super Intelligence Adding the new designation isn’t enough. The glossary should explain where the replacement applies, why it was introduced, and what anyone dealing with content should use instead. Terminology reflects your brand and your communication choices, and... so many more things about you! #Terminology #Localization #AI #superintelligence #forbidden
