Core Glossary
Core Glossary
This curriculum’s glossary covers 47 terms drawn from Romans 1-16, each recorded in full in translation_memory.json with its approved Indonesian rendering, transliteration, doctrine link, risk tier, and rejected alternatives.
Highest-priority terms for translator onboarding
Before translating any Romans segment, translators should be drilled on the Critical-risk terms first, distinguishing two different kinds of risk this glossary handles:
| Term | Approved | Handling required |
|---|---|---|
| Son of God | Anak Allah | Contextual note: relational Sonship, not physical procreation |
| Incarnation | Firman yang menjadi manusia | Contextual note: distinct from Islamic tanzih theology |
| Messiah | Mesias | Contextual note: distinct from the Quranic Isa al-Masih |
| Apostle | Rasul | Contextual note: distinct from Islam’s closed prophetic line |
| Holy Spirit | Roh Kudus | Contextual note: distinct from the angel Gabriel |
| Intercession | doa syafaat | Contextual note: distinct from Muhammad’s shafa’a doctrine |
| Salvation | keselamatan | Contextual note: distinct from deeds-and-mercy judgment |
| Jesus | Yesus | Forbidden substitution: never Nabi Isa |
Note that six of these eight entries are correctly-chosen established terms needing a clarifying note, not word-choice errors to fix — a different failure mode than the “forbidden alternative word” pattern that dominates this Language Package’s other languages.
Glossary structure
The full glossary is bucketed by risk tier in the published bundle (glossary/risk-groups/), Critical first, so reviewers can prioritize their attention. Each entry records the doctrine it supports, so a reviewer flagged on a doctrine (e.g. Sonship of Christ) can immediately see every term tied to that doctrine.
Maintenance note
Any new term encountered during Phase 2 translation that is not yet in this glossary must be added to translation_memory.json before the segment is finalized, following the same fields and risk-assessment process documented in 12_ai_translation_requirements.md.
