Term Suggestion & Explanation

Last updated: Aug 18, 2025

When you're unsure about a translated term or feel it could be improved, OmniTranslate provides AI-powered suggestions and detailed explanations to help you choose the best translation. This feature allows you to refine terminology with confidence.

Accessing Term Suggestions

You can access term suggestions and explanations in two ways:

  1. From the Context Page: Navigate to the context page for your translation and search for the specific term you want to edit.
