Glossary
Terms, brand names and some other words and phrases should usually stay in the original language or be translated in a specific way. LangShop allows users to add such words in the Glossary. Here you can add a chosen word or phrase and apply either “Never Translate” or “Always Translate” rule, keeping it spelled appropriately on the chosen languages.

How to translate certain words in a specific way
Delete rule
Steps:
From the LangShop admin, go to Glossary.
Click Add rule.
Choose Never Translate Rule.
Type the word/word combination you want to keep in the original language.
NOTE
If you select the Case sensitive button, the rule will be applied only to the text that is spelled exactly like in the field above. You can skip the box if you want LangShop not to make a difference between uppercase and lowercase characters in the text.
Select languages, which the rule will be applied to.
Click Add.
Support team advice: Once the rule is added in the Glossary list, the content you'd like to be affected should be retranslated with Overwrite existing translations setting enabled.
Steps:
From the LangShop admin, go to Glossary.
Click Add rule.
Choose Always Translate Rule.
Type the word/word combination and a desired version of translation.
NOTE
If you select the Case sensitive button, the rule will be applied only to the text that is spelled exactly like in the field above. You can skip the box if you want LangShop not to make a difference between uppercase and lowercase characters in the text.
Select languages, which the rule will be applied to.
Click Add.
All rules are applicable only to new translations. Set the rule and then run translation to let the Glossary perform its job.
Controversial conditions resolution:
In case you create two rules with identical operation conditions, i.e. identical original text with the same checkbox status and similar languages, the system will return a 409 error instead.
All other controversial conditions are resolved in compliance with priority sorting (1- the highest priority):
Sorting by the original text length. The priority gets the condition with longer text.
Sorting by the sensitivity. The condition with active case sensitivity will get higher priority.
We have two conditions:
Always Translate “Text for”, case sensitive activated
Always Translate “Text for LangShop”, case sensitive deactivated
The second rule has higher priority due to the original text length.
We have two conditions:
Always Translate “Text for”, case sensitive activated
Always Translate “text for”, case sensitive deactivated
The first rule has higher priority due to active case sensitivity.
You can delete a rule if it's not relevant yet.
From the LangShop admin, go to Glossary.
Choose the rule you want to delete.
