  • When a glossary term is not added under Global, you can add it in various languages
  • When a glossary term is added under Global, you cannot add it at the language level

For example, if you wish to add the glossary term "TXT record" in multiple languages, add language-specific glossary terms and definitions in each language. When you add that glossary term under Global, it cannot be added at the language level.
