  abstract  = {This paper describes Tilde's submissions to the WMT 2026 Shared Task on Terminology. For both subtasks, we use TildeOpen-30B, which we instruction-tune for translation using terminology glossaries and translation memories, and we detail the construction of the training data augmented with these resources. For Task 1, we compare three term recognition methods aimed at reducing large term collections to subsets relevant for translation: fuzzy search, stemming with exact-match search, and stemming with fuzzy search. For Task 2, we compare extracting a glossary from the provided translation memory and integrating it in context against using retrieved translation-memory entries directly as few-shot examples. As the shared task provides neither reference translations nor a development set, we validate our design decisions with an LLM-as-a-judge protocol. In-domain term collections reduce translation errors by up to 22\% relative to translating without terminology, whereas out-of-domain collections yield only marginal gains, and glossaries extracted from the translation memory outperform few-shot translation with retrieved entries.},
