Alconost has launched a free AI‑powered glossary generator that converts JSON, XLIFF, Excel, CSV, or text files into a structured, production‑ready term base in minutes. The tool scans entire documents, identifies real terminology, and uses leading language models to deliver clear definitions, exact usage counts, and existing translations when present. The result is a fully editable, CAT‑tool‑ready term base that streamlines terminology management for localization teams.
Four steps to your glossary
- Upload your files — JSON, XLIFF, Excel, CSV, or TXT.
- Find candidate terms — the tool pulls a shortlist of likely terminology.
- AI review & definitions — AI keeps the real terms and writes a definition for each.
- Review & download — check the final glossary, edit anything you want, and download as CSV.
For every term, you get the part of speech, a definition, a count of how often it appears, and translations when your files contain them. This is the format your translators and CAT tools work with.
Accurate by design
Instead of relying on AI alone, the tool works in two steps, so each part does only what it’s actually good at.
First, fast traditional algorithms such as natural language processing (NLP) scan the whole document and pull out candidate terms: key nouns, multi-word phrases, product names, and brands. This step handles the heavy lifting on volume, so AI doesn’t need to look at every word.
Then a large language model (LLM) takes only that shortlist and applies real judgment. It removes ordinary words that aren’t real terms, writes a clear, context-aware definition for each one it keeps, flags terms that should stay untranslated (like brand names), and pulls the right translation when your file already contains translations.
You get AI-level accuracy without running an LLM over the entire document, which would take much longer. Statistics manage the bulk processing, while the LLM provides the judgment. Frequency counts aren’t left to the AI either — exact code walks the text and counts every occurrence precisely, so the numbers you see are always reliable.
The glossary generator is powered by leading AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
The new tool is free to use and is made available at alconost.mt/glossary.
