Review terminology, propose better words, and help your language community decide how Ethereum should be understood.

ETHGlossary + AI pipeline

reduction in terminology drift with AI

With the glossary: AI translations use the same terms consistently
Without it: AI models translate the same term differently across a site

“Even with AI, scaling to dozens of languages is hard.
ETHGlossary has been helpful because if you’re not a native speaker it’s difficult to know which term is the correct one to use.”

How it works

1
AI suggests a translation
We have tested a lot of models and found what works.
2
The translator community reviews
Native speakers and Ethereum contributors discuss terms, propose alternatives, and add the context machines miss.
3
Anyone can use it
Reviewed terminology becomes open infrastructure for translators, products, and AI through ETHGlossary's API.

Supported languages
