FAQ: Why my Glossary rule not working after clicking "Publish & Apply Rule"?

Having trouble with Glossary rules not applying to your translations? Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them.

My Glossary rule isn't working - what's wrong?

The main reasons why your Glossary rule might not apply after clicking "Publish & Apply Rule":

Reason: You don't have in-app translations yet

Problem: Your content hasn't been translated through Transcy's system.

Solution: Create in-app translations first:

→ Click "Translate with AI" → Choose your AI engines to generate new translations

→ This will create translations that can work with your Glossary rules

Translate with AI Engines

How can I avoid these issues in the future?

Best practice: Set up your Glossary rules before doing large translation batches. This way, new translations will automatically follow your rules from the start.

Do I need to re-translate everything?

No! You only need to re-translate content where the Glossary rule isn't applying. Other translations can stay as they are.
