__Translation set__ A group of pages that are translations of one another. __Propagation__ The process that happens when changes to one member of a translation set are reflected in another member. __Synchronization__ If A and B are pages in a translation set, they are synchronized (or ''in sync'') when page A is a complete and satisfactory translation of page B and vice versa. !((CLWE Project))-specific vocabulary __Content element__ A change to a page. It may be an addition, a modification or a removal of page content. Content elements are only implicitly represented in the CLWE syncing architecture. __Up-to-dateness__ Say A and B are pages in a translation set. Page A is ''up-to-date'' with respect to page B when all the changes in B have propagated to A. Page A is ''more up-to-date'' than page B if it has content elements that have not yet propagated to page B. Pages A and B are synchronized (or ''in sync'') if they are both up-to-date __Updating__ If page A is more up-to-date than page B, a translator ''updates'' page B by translating all content elements in A that haven't yet propagated into B. Updates have a ''source'' and a ''target'' (here, A and B, respectively) __Partial translation__ A translation effort that does not make the target page up-to-date with respect to the source page.
