Babylon Glossary Builder

Babylon's FREE glossary builder is a user-friendly application that enables you to create your own glossaries based on your personal interests.

Building and Publishing Glossaries

To build a glossary, you must first download the Babylon Builder.

With Babylon's Glossary Builder you can make creative glossaries, incorporating pictures (BMP, JPG, ICO) and hyperlinks into each definition. You can also make your glossary more appealing by choosing an icon to appear next to the glossary title when displayed in Babylon's tool. If you have an existing glossary (in either text or HTML format) that you want to use in Babylon-Pro or submit to Babylon's index, you can do so easily using the Glossary Builder's import option. Once imported, your glossary will be reformatted for use in the Glossary Builder. For help with importing existing glossaries, please send us an email to: linguistic-support@babylon.com

A new glossary file is automatically created when you launch the Babylon Builder. This file is named "untitled.gls". You can use this file for your new glossary, save it under a different name, or create a new file by clicking on the "New" button.It is recommended to provide your potential glossary users with as much information as possible about your glossary, and thus encourage them to download it or subscribe to it. This is done in the Info Screen - the first screen you see in the Babylon Builder. You can enter both your personal details and general information about the glossary, including both a title and a short description. You can also choose an icon that best describes the glossary. This icon will appear next to all definitions from your glossary that appear in Babylon.

There are three things that you need to specify for each entry:
1. Word/Phrase -
    This is the title of the entry, and the source term that you want to supply a definition for.

2. Alternate Form(s) -
    Synonyms, other words (or phrases) that have exactly the same definition as the source term, OR possible spelling mistakes of the entry. For Example, if the Word/Phrase is: Anna Sui, the Alternate Form(s) would be: Ana Sui, Ana soui, etc).

3. Definition -
     The text that explains the source term. This can include hyperlinks and graphics that make the definition more interesting.
The Babylon Builder supports several graphic formats - bmp, emf, ico, jpg, png and wmf. You can embed any image saved in one of these formats into your glossary definitions. You can also create links from your definitions to unsupported file types. Any files that are linked to the glossary file will be bundled with it when you go through the "building" process.
