CONTENT CREATION

Agentic localization that researches missing glossary terms before translating

An agent localizes a published post per locale, and when it hits a term with no glossary entry it researches the correct regional wording, proposes a glossary addition in Coda.

What it does

Most localization flows fail quietly when a term isn't in the glossary. This agent-driven workflow detects gaps: when a source term has no approved translation for a locale, it researches the accepted regional rendering, proposes adding it to the Coda glossary, and only then finishes the translation, so the glossary grows as content is localized.

When to use it

Use this when your glossary is incomplete or your product vocabulary is expanding faster than the term list can keep up. It suits teams entering new markets where established translations may not exist yet and need a reasoned first draft plus a paper trail of proposed terms.

How it works

  1. 1A published post selected for localization triggers the run.
  2. 2The agent loads the existing glossary from Coda and identifies source terms with no entry for the target locale.
  3. 3For each gap, it uses Perplexity to research the accepted regional translation and a confidence rationale.
  4. 4A logic step decides whether the researched term is confident enough to use or should be marked for human confirmation.
  5. 5The agent proposes each new term as a pending row in the Coda glossary.
  6. 6It then translates the full post with the combined approved-plus-proposed terms and saves the localized draft to Google Drive.
