Phrase memory and examples
Phrase memory stores source text and approved translation pairs for reuse within a workspace. Finding matches, selecting them for a prompt and saving new phrases are separate operations.
Retrieving references
When enabled, Glossa searches for matches for the document’s segments using resources available to the workspace. This search changes neither translations nor saved phrases.
The References tab displays matches and lets you adjust the similarity threshold. Only selected pairs are included in the next request for that segment. If matches exist but none are selected, starting translation warns that those references will not be used.
Pairs are appended to stage instructions after the static prefix and document context. They do not change the shared blocks prepared for caching. Similarity indicates possible relevance, not semantic equivalence or suitability for the current context.
Creating and reviewing phrases
- Review the translation and lock the segment.
- Open Memory: previously saved pairs are loaded and selected.
- Use Extract phrases to generate proposals, or add pairs manually.
- Edit the text and select the pairs to retain.
- Save to apply the selection.
Extraction does not save automatically. Deselecting a previously saved pair and saving removes it from the collection. Unconfirmed edits remain in the segment’s draft when you switch segments during review; this is not a permanent save.
Scope
Extracted phrases retain their link to the originating translation. Moving that translation to another workspace moves its phrases with it. Imported, linked resources can be shared through workspace links. The Phrases tab in Language Resources provides access to the collection.
Style examples
Translation examples are complete source and translation segment pairs used to guide a pipeline’s register and style. They are not retrieved according to similarity with the current segment.
For a locked segment, Use as a style example in the Audit tab adds the pair to pipeline settings, where it can be edited or removed. The limit is five examples. Since they form part of the static context, their length contributes to request size.
Use the glossary for mandatory terminology and memory references for wording relevant to an individual passage.
