How to translate text with custom glossaries with your AI

Connect DeepL to your AI client to ensure every translation respects your specific terminology. Your agent handles the heavy lifting while you maintain control over the vocabulary.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I make my AI use my specific brand terms when translating?

You can instruct your AI to use DeepL glossaries to enforce specific word choices. This ensures technical jargon and brand names stay consistent across every language you target. You'll see how the AI manages these terms below.

Translation outcomes

What you get from the AI

The results of using custom glossaries for your translations.

CONSISTENT

Brand-aligned text

The AI uses your specific glossary to pick the right words. You get translations that sound like your brand, not a generic bot.

ACCURATE

Technical precision

Jargon stays correct because the AI follows your predefined mappings. This prevents common translation errors in specialized fields.

ORGANIZED

Managed vocabularies

Your agent can view and manage your existing DeepL glossaries. This keeps your terminology organized and ready for use.

HUMAN

Final review needed

The AI handles the bulk work, but you should still check the nuance. You remain the final judge of tone and context.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a translation.

The AI acts as the bridge between your instructions and the DeepL engine.

  1. Inventory glossaries

    Your agent checks which translation glossaries you already have stored in DeepL to find the right one for the job.

    list_glossaries

  2. Build new terms

    If you have a new set of brand terms, the AI creates a new glossary in DeepL to store them.

    create_glossary

  3. Execute translation

    The AI sends your text and the chosen glossary to DeepL to produce the final version.

    translate_with_glossary

  4. Verify results

    The agent presents the translated text to you in your chat interface for immediate review.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create a glossary from a text file?

    No. You must provide the specific term pairs you want the AI to use when it calls the tool to build a new glossary.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my existing glossaries?

    No. The available tools only allow the AI to list, create, or use glossaries. It cannot delete them.

  • 03

    Does the AI translate the whole document or just snippets?

    The AI translates whatever text you provide in the chat, using the glossary to guide its word choices.

  • 04

    Can I use multiple glossaries at once?

    No. The AI uses one specific glossary per translation request to ensure there is no conflicting terminology.

  • 05

    Can the AI change my DeepL account settings?

    No. The AI only interacts with the specific translation and glossary tools provided by the MCP.
