Glossary-building KudoZ

An authoritative glossary created by the community, for the community.

About GBK

GBK terms are released from one source language into several target languages, and the best translation is chosen by the community.

The GBK network provides a framework for enabling the ProZ.com community to together create an authoritative glossary. It is also aimed at allowing specialists like you to share your knowledge, network and achieve professional differentiation.

The GBK Glossary is made available openly under a CC-by license.

Glossary-building KudoZ terms are usually:

  • technical and/or specialized
  • not easily found in dictionaries
  • too complex for machine translation
  • newly created, or with a recent new meaning
Five dice form the word "Terms".

You can also participate in the glossary-building effort by suggesting translations, sharing examples and definitions, and offering feedback on other translators' contributions.

Suggest a glossary term:

Your suggestion will be reviewed by ProZ.com staff and by other community members, and may be released as a Glossary-building KudoZ question. Suggesting a term doesn't prevent you from posting that same term as a KudoZ terminology help question.

At the time being, GBK questions are only released with an English source term, into several dozen target languages. Technical updates to make non-English source terms possible are planned, but keep in mind that those term suggestions will be backlogged until these changes have been implemented.

You can find more information about GBK in these FAQs. If you have any questions or need assistance, submit a support request.
