Conflicting glossary entries

Conflicts are glossary entries where several glossaries have an entry with the same term in the source language, but a different term in the target language. You can resolve conflicts by selecting which term you prefer for the final glossary.

There are two ways to resolve conflicts.

• Resolve all conflicts by clicking Accept all..., and then selecting the terms from which glossary you want to accept. This can be done for all conflicts, or by language pair.

• Resolve each conflict individually by selecting the term you prefer.

  You can also remove a term completely from the final glossary by clicking on the trash icon symbol .
