Each member may enter terms in their personal glossary by clicking on the “Enter Terms” link on the bottom left of the profile page.

Note that these instructions apply only to terms in your personal glossaries. Terms in the site-wide KudoZ glossary can only be edited by a moderator. If you want to suggest a change to a term in the site-wide glossary, you can contact the appropriate moderator using the moderator list.

1. Go to your Profile page
2. Click the name of the glossary where the term is
3. Click the term in question
4. Click the 'Edit or add info to this term' at the bottom of the page.
5. Edit the existing information or add new information, and click the "Enter" button to save your changes

To search the glossaries for KudoZ questions, you must select at least a source or a target language.

Further, KudoZ search results will be returned for each KudoZ question or answer that begins with the term you search for. For technical reasons, this is much, much faster than searching for your term anywhere within the KudoZ question. If the first results are not sufficient, click "Search for KudoZ containing your term" at the bottom of the page. A second, slower search will be performed that will match your term anywhere within a KudoZ question or answer.

The “Internet Term Search” makes it possible to enter a term at ProZ.com, and search Internet resources like Eurodicautom, Leo, Wordreference, KudoZ, Ectaco, Systran, Intertran and others all at once? The ProZ.com "Internet Search" is made for just this purpose. Consider bookmarking this time-saver...

How to use it:

(1) Enter the term to search

(2) Enter the languages

(3) Select the resources to search

(4) Click "Search"

The search function will be contacting each of your selected resources at once. To view each result, click the tabs at the top of the page.

Note: Because the sites being accessed may send popup windows, this function is recommended only if you have a popup blocker (ProZ.com does not host popup ads.)

There is no such thing as "too much reference material." That is why ProZ.com is proud to sponsor GlossPost, the web's largest collection of glossary links. Need to brush up on your Polish fishing terminology? Arabic finance lingo? Icelandic Internet jargon? Glosspost is a member-built list of glossaries on the Internet.

GlossPost is a specialized discussion group for the dissemination of glossary, dictionary and terminology database URLs among translators. The list was founded by Brazilian translator and conference interpreter Maria Eugênia Farré at Yahoogroups in February 2000. You can read here an interview with more information on the list's history. What distinguished GlossPost from other mailing lists and may explain its success was a very well defined set of rules, establishing English as the official language for posting, recommendations for writing subject lines, the adoption of standardized ISO-based language codes and a strictly no-chat policy.

Three years down the road, GlossPost at Yahoogroups continues to grow. With a vast membership, GlossPost is today one of the largest mailing lists for translators, interpreters and terminologists worldwide. But as the number of subscribers grows, so does the URL database. Even though it's considered one of the best glossary URL repositories, with an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 glossary URLs, annotated and commented by translators, the searching capabilities at Yahoogroups are far from satisfactory. Let alone the rumors about Yahoogroups being shutdown and other threats. For this reason, GlossPost and ProZ.com have joined forces to make the glossary database more robust and widely available.

What are the goals driving GlossPost at Proz.com?

We have three main goals:

• To create an online terminology resource with searching capabilities specifically designed for the needs of translators.

• To enlarge the database by benefiting from the collaborative spirit of ProZ.com users

• To ensure the accessibility of GlossPost and honor the commitment of providing a free and useful resource for translators across the globe
