Definition

Apply it before translating short-drama subtitles or dubbing scripts. Review changes when a name or relationship is revealed later in the story.
What it is not
A one-off translation prompt does not replace a maintained series glossary.
Review questions
- What is the actual source: audio, visible text or a separate subtitle file?
- Which episode, market, language or product version does this output belong to?
- What must be checked before the localized video or subtitle file is released?

Apply this term in a real workflow
Use character glossary as a review decision, not just a label on a task. Identify the source asset, the version being changed and who can approve the result. A mechanically valid subtitle can still contain the wrong name, product detail or intended meaning.
