How to check translation glossary terms in Obsidian
As of October 2026, Obsidian Search can locate phrases and restrict results by path. For a paired glossary review, compare corresponding paragraphs yourself or use Glossary Term Audit. Its literal matches do not assess translation meaning.
Background
The workflow starts with source prose, translated prose and your approved terminology. The plugin brief asks for paragraph findings with links back to the affected text; it supplies no public demand count.
2 ways to do it

path:to narrow the target notes. Search approved and forbidden wording, then compare the corresponding source and target paragraphs.- limits

Common questions
How should I prepare a first test pair?
Use a short translation with matching blank-line breaks. Compare paragraph order before reading the findings as a terminology checklist.
Why can a forbidden term appear without a source match?
The audit checks forbidden target terms independently. A source match is required only for the approved-term requirement.
