# Event website translation glossary — editable template

Use this register to approve **terms**, not whole-page translations. Copy a row for each source concept; add a target-locale entry only after a reviewer approves it in context. Blank cells mean **undecided**, not “use the English word.”

**Event and edition:** [ ]  **Source-language owner:** [ ]  **Locale reviewers:** [ ]  **Last review:** [ ]

Start with terms that can change an attendee's decision or route: ticket entitlement, registration state, entrance, schedule, accessibility request and support contact. Keep policy and legal wording with the qualified owner for each market. A glossary decision does not by itself approve a whole page, checkout or email. Compare the final text in its real layout and follow the attendee action before release.
