Capabilities

## What Vitra TB does

### Start with the concept

Keep a definition and subject context alongside the terms. A term base should explain what a word means in your business, not just list a replacement.

### Record the term for each language

Manage multilingual terms under the same concept, with preferred forms and synonyms where one approved translation is not enough.

### Make unwanted wording explicit

Mark forbidden terms and do-not-translate names. Give reviewers a clear reason to accept or correct a word.

### Review the terminology itself

Keep new, approved, and rejected terminology distinct. Your subject-matter experts can settle a term before everyone starts using it.

### Import the vocabulary you already have

Bring supported spreadsheet, CSV, or TBX resources. Check how concept fields and language variants map before a full import.

### Connect terms to the right memory

Attach the relevant terminology to translation resources. Keep a technical product's vocabulary separate from another client's campaign language.

What changes for your team

## Fewer arguments about the same word.

FAQ

## Questions people ask

What is a term base?
+

A term base organizes concepts and their terms across languages. It can include definitions, preferred words, synonyms, forbidden terms, and usage notes. Vitra TB is the terminology-management component of Vitra TMS.

How is Vitra TB different from a glossary?
+

Vitra TB is concept-based and can hold several terms per language with usage and approval information. A glossary is a simpler source-to-target wording list. Use the term base to explain vocabulary and the glossary for direct translation rules.

Can I bring our current terminology into Vitra TB?
+

Yes. Vitra TB supports terminology imports and exports, including spreadsheet, CSV, and TBX workflows. Check a sample of your fields and language codes before migrating the complete resource.
