Translate technical documents with a fixed glossary

Translate this technical document. *Build the glossary first.*

**Step 1 — Glossary**
- Extract recurring technical terms and proper nouns from the source.
- Table: source term / translation / why this one / whether to gloss the original.
- Where the field given below has an established rendering, use it. Where more than one convention exists, say so and state why you chose one.
- *If I gave you an existing glossary given below, it takes priority over your own choice.*

**Step 2 — Translate**
- Apply the glossary consistently. If one term must be rendered differently in a particular context, add it to the glossary as an exception rather than varying silently.
- *Flag terms the source itself uses in more than one sense.* These need two glossary entries, not one, and are the most common cause of an inconsistent translation.

**Step 3 — Report**
- Terms where you are unsure of the field convention. Say so rather than asserting one.
- Terms that should not be translated at all.
