Enhance localization in your instance with Language Asset Management in Localization Workspace. You can upload

glossaries to Language Asset Management for editing and storage.

## Glossaries in Language Asset Management {#lw-language-asset-management__section_xbm_j2j_g3c}

From version 3.0.0, the Language Asset Management area of Localization Workspace enables you to upload glossaries, which are lists of terms with translations that you provide. Each source term in a glossary can have translations into multiple languages. You
can create multiple glossaries. In the Australia release, glossaries are available for storage and editing only.  
When planning your glossary assets, consider the following points.

* You can have more than one glossary in Language Asset Management, so you can organize your glossaries according to business unit, function, or locale.
* Each glossary can be subdivided or filtered using the Product/Service category.
* One source term can be listed under different Product/Service or Part of Speech categories. A source term repeated in two different categories is considered to be two different records, so different translations can be assigned to each occurrence of the term per category. This enables a term to be translated differently depending on the context.
* Translations assigned to source terms can be provided for any language listed in the sys_language table, including self-localized languages.
* The included spreadsheet template (ServiceNow_Glossary_Template.xlsx) must be used when creating a glossary. For details see [Upload glossaries to Language Asset Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/_cJAnGfHpo2v44uGmCX7hQ "Upload glossaries to the Language Asset Management area of Localization Workspace. Create a glossary by entering source terms and translations in the provided spreadsheet template, then uploading the completed spreadsheet to Language Asset Management.").
* Any editing or modification to the contents of existing glossaries can be done in the UI. For details see [Edit a glossary in Language Asset Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/E4Ek4kZovZLCaYzaR9R5xw "Edit the contents of your glossary in Language Asset Management. Modify existing terms and translations or add more terms.").
* There is no upper limit to the number of rows in a glossary, but the general guideline is for each glossary to have between 50 and 1500 rows.

In the spreadsheet template, columns are provided for all languages supported by ServiceNow AI Platform in the sys_language table. You don't need to provide translations for all languages. Clear out (leave blank) all values for any languages you don't plan to use. You can upload glossary translations for
languages that are active = false in sys_language, but inactive languages are not available for translation workflows.  
You can include self-localized languages when uploading glossaries with the spreadsheet template. Create additional columns in the spreadsheet template for self-localized languages. For the label in the header row of the spreadsheet, use codes from the ID column of the sys_language table for the corresponding languages.  
Note:  
With the following supported languages, the import transform handles mapping of the spreadsheet's language code to the ID code in sys_language. Do not modify or update the header row of the spreadsheet template for these languages.

* Brazilian Portuguese
* French - Canada
* Traditional Chinese

To activate languages in sys_language, [install language plugins](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Y30JfDvzXwarUH9yXwYnZA "By default, the language supported by the platform is American English. You can activate plugins for other supported languages if you have the admin role."). To self-localize an unsupported language, see [Create a language record](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/M_d6LYPOSAlyWPWP6kyZmA "Add a record for a language not provided by an internationalization (I18N) plugin to associate new translations with.").
