Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could explain this. Once you get an appropriate answer for your question, you choose it and then award the answerer with kudoz points.

In the past, a few times I entered the word myself but on a few other occasions I asked the answerers to do so.

A glossary entry giving the word in one language and saying, e.g. "Your own seco... See more

I'm quite happy with this arrangement, but don't just tick the box without checking that the glossary entry, which consists simply of the question asked and the selected answer, is in a suitable form for entry in the glossary. A glossary entry giving the word in one language and saying, e.g. "Your own second suggestion is the best", is no use to anyone. Generally speaking, phrases of several words are less likely to be useful in a glossary than just one or two words. In the case of abbreviations, it is also useful to add the expansion in the original language as well as the answer in the target language. ▲ Collapse
