During the analysis step, you will encounter words, phrases, names, abbreviations and acronyms that are unique to this document or industry. You will determine the best translation for most of these during your research.

It is important that you translate these document-specific or industry-specific words, phrases, names, abbreviations and acronyms the same way each time they are used. Readers get confused when terminology is not used consistently.

So, as you work you develop a translation glossary, a bilingual dictionary for all of these terms. This makes it easier for you to be consistent with terminology.
