2 weeks ago Stewie did some research and reported that the glossary could be loaded in memory from the google sheet when the app starts. This would eliminate the need to add an interface to add, change or remove terms as that would be handled on the google sheet. This approach has two main advantages. First it limits the need to have to commit the glossary and create merge conflicts. Second it ensures everyone has the latest version at all time. If this approach is taken, the user would need to be able to refresh the glossary without having to close and reopen the app.
As a user I want to be able to browse the glossary from within the app, If possible to be able to have a filtered view of only the glossary item from the string i am currently working on. The filtered view should be the default.
The glossary contains 5 column that could be displayed to your liking, category, japanese, english, do not use, comments.
This would ensure that translator are aware that key glossary terms are present in the japanese and can make sure to include them in the english translation.
the translator should be able to copy paste from that window so that they dont have to manually type in the term.
In memoQ glossary terms found in the string appear on the left as shown in the screenshot bellow.
Here is the current glossary for rebirth https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-XwzS7F0SaLlXwv1KS6RcTEYYORH2DDb1bMRy5VM5oo/edit#gid=1688457337
