How to Ensure Consistent Translation of Domain-Specific Terms in Google Cloud Translate API?

Hi Google Cloud Community,

I am using the Google Cloud Translate API(basic edition(v2)) for a logistics-related application. However, I am facing an issue with domain-specific terms. For example, the term "export drawbacks", which is a specific logistics term, is being translated as "export shortcomings", which is incorrect in our context.

I want to ensure that terms like "export drawbacks" are translated accurately every time. Is there any feature or method in the Google Cloud Translate API that allows me to define specific terms and their preferred translations, such as a glossary or custom vocabulary?

Could someone guide me on the best approach to resolve this issue?

Any help or examples would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Did you try implementing glossaries ? However,  you might need to use the advanced edition for this feature.
