A "common workflow" section is a bulleted roundup that points readers to the main tasks or settings from a landing page (as in the Dashboard get-started **Key workflows** and **Configuration** lists). Each bullet starts with the action, then a short description, then a link:

Use common workflow sections on **Get Started pages and other overview/landing pages** to surface the primary tasks, instead of duplicating full how-tos inline. Do not use them mid-guide, where ordered steps belong.

**What is context?** Context tells AI how to interpret and translate your product. It helps preserve brand and product names, resolve ambiguous words (like whether "cells" refers to rooms, phones, bacteria, or spreadsheets), and keep style consistent across your Organization and Projects. GT applies context through Context Groups, which include a Glossary for terminology and Custom Prompts for tone and style. See [Define translation context](/docs/platform/dashboard/guides/adding-translation-context).

Define how your product should be translated, including **terminology and style** that should stay consistent across Projects and across your whole Organization.

General Translation applies reusable translation instructions through Context Groups.
Define the highest-quality translations of your product — including key terminology, brand voice, and style. Use Context Groups to apply shared guidance across your app, website, documentation, slides, and every other surface.

## Basic context workflow [#basic-context-workflow]

1. Open your Organization in the Dashboard.
1. Open your Organization in the **[Dashboard](https://dash.generaltranslation.com)**.
2. Go to the **Context** page.
3. Create a **Context Group**.
4. Use the **Glossary** and **Custom Prompts** tabs to add terminology and style guidance.
5. **Assign** your Context Group to relevant Project(s).
6. Generate translations or apply updates to existing translations.
4. Add a **Glossary** (for terminology) and **Custom Prompts** (for style and tone).
5. **Assign** your Context Group to relevant Projects.
6. Generate your translations or apply updates to existing translations.



## What are Context Groups? [#context-groups]

**Context Groups** define consistent instructions for translation. Each Context Group includes a Glossary and Custom Prompts:
**Context Groups** are reusable instructions for translation. Assign a group to one or more Projects to apply consistent terminology and voice across translations. *For example, the same Context Group can be applied across your app, website, documentation, and sales decks.*

a) **Glossary** defines **key terms**: product and brand names, features, and technical terms. *Example: Locadex is the GT agent. This product name should never be translated.*
a) The **Glossary** defines wording and how key terms should be handled: including product terms, brand names, features, and technical terms. *Example: Keep "Locadex" untranslated in every locale.*

b) **Custom Prompts** define **style and tone**: audience, formality, conventions, and formatting. *Example: Use active voice, avoid jargon, and use formal Sie.*
b) **Custom Prompts** define how translations should sound: including audience, formality, voice, conventions, and formatting. *Example: Use active voice, avoid jargon, and use formal "Sie."*

All Context Groups are stored at the Organization-wide level. They can then be applied to one or more Projects.
Context Groups live at the Organization level. We recommend applying a Context Group across all your Projects, and then adding additional project-specific Context Groups if surfaces differ in terminology or style.
