Customize Glossary for Flawless Subtitle Translation

This article introduces SubEasy’s subtitle translation tool combined with the Customize Glossary feature.

What is Customize Glossary for Subtitle Translation?

The Customize Glossary feature in SubEasy is your personal term bank for subtitle translations. Instead of relying solely on generic machine‑translation algorithms, you define a set of source phrases (brand names, technical terms, recurring jargon, catch‑phrases) alongside your preferred target‑language equivalents. When SubEasy generates or edits subtitles, it automatically applies your glossary rules to every matching segment—preserving consistency and accuracy across the entire video catalog.
