Native workspace glossaries support interchange through the Cloud UI and authenticated API. Provider-linked glossaries are read-only in Cloud and follow different rules.

​
Supported formats

Exports use Hyperlocalise’s interchange profile: TBX 3 (TBX-Basic, DCA style), a concepts/terms CSV layout, and a two-sheet XLSX workbook.

​
Import in Cloud

  1. Open Glossaries and select a native glossary (not a provider read-only glossary).
  2. Use Import and choose a TBX, CSV, or XLSX file.
  3. Review the preview report, then confirm. Imports support preview, create, update, merge, and replace modes; destructive modes can create a backup before applying changes.
Provider-backed glossaries cannot be imported through this UI. Manage terms in the connected TMS or use a native glossary you control.

​
Export in Cloud

  1. Open a native glossary.
  2. Open the actions menu (⋯) → Export.
  3. Pick TBX, CSV, or XLSX for the full glossary.

API

Complete export:
Filtered export (locale list and optional search):
Import uses the glossary import endpoints documented in the API reference; payloads support preview and merge modes before apply.

​
Provider glossaries

Use your TMS or the Hyperlocalise CLI for provider-native glossary downloads where supported. CLI glossary CSV is often a Hyperlocalise-shaped export and may not round-trip into every TMS upload endpoint.

Tips

  • TBX is the best interchange with other terminology tools.
  • XLSX is easiest for manual review and bulk edits in a spreadsheet.
  • CSV works well for scripts and narrow column-based tooling.
