Who can apply and manage context?
What is context?
Context is one of the most powerful ways to shape the quality, accuracy, and personality of your translations in Lia Translate. By adding targeted guidance—such as a glossary, a translation memory, a style guide, or a brand reference document—you help Lia Translate produce output that sounds like you.
Whether you want consistent terminology, a polished brand voice, or translations that follow the tone of existing material, context makes it possible. It helps Lia Translate understand not just the words you use, but how you communicate.
And the best: Lia does not require expert training to adapt to your preferences. You can create and apply context on the fly, simply by uploading files in a variety of formats Supported formats for context, or writing instructions.
You can attach:
glossaries
translation memories (TM)
style guides
reference documents
written instructions
All of these become reusable for future translations or can be shared with your workspace.
Why use context?
Improved quality
A glossary or translation memory ensures accurate terminology and reuses proven translations.
Better consistency
Context helps Lia Translate adapt to your brand language and maintain a coherent tone of voice.
Full control
You decide what applies to each translation—activate or deactivate items, combine several types, or add new input on the spot.
Are my context files safe?
Yes.
By default, your context files are only shared with your workspace's admins and owners. If you (or admins/owners) decide to share your context files with the entire workspace, then all users from your workspace will gain access and be able to use your context for translation, read detail information or download the uploaded context file.
No user outside your workspace gets access to your context, nor are context files sent out to unsafe systems.
