+## [1.6.0] - 2026-06-02
+
+### Added
+- **`I18nProjectManager.extractLanguageCodeFromPath(sourceFilePath)`** — New public method that returns the detected source language code from the file path (e.g., `"en"` for `locales/en.json`) or `null` if the structure is unrecognised. Used internally by `AiTranslator` to auto-populate `sourceLanguageCode` on translation requests.
+- **Extended `TranslationConfig`** with four new optional fields:
+  - `sourceLanguageCode?: string | null` — BCP-47 source language; auto-detected from the file path when not provided
+  - `generateGlossary?: boolean` — generates and saves a glossary for this language pair for future translations (default: `false`)
+  - `glossary?: GlossaryEntry[] | null` — override the active glossary: omit/`null` = use active, `[]` = disable, entries = replace for this request
+  - `terminology?: TerminologyEntry[]` — terms for consistent translation with disallowed synonyms
+- **`GlossaryEntry` and `TerminologyEntry`** re-exported from `ai-l10n-core` for convenience
+
+### Changed
+- Updated to use `ai-l10n-core@1.6.0`
+- `AiTranslator.translate()` now auto-detects the source language code from the project structure and passes it to the API as `sourceLanguageCode`

+### Glossary & Terminology
+
+#### Generate and Save a Glossary
+
+When `generateGlossary` is enabled, a glossary is built from the source and translated target content and saved as the active glossary for this source/target language pair. It is then used automatically on future translations.
+
+> **Balance note:** Balance is debited for the full source content upfront — even when `translateOnlyNewStrings` is `true`. When disabled (default), a temporary internal glossary is generated at no extra cost only for content that exceeds the AI chunk size.
+
+```typescript
+const result = await translator.translate({
+  sourceFile: './locales/en.json',
+  targetLanguages: ['de', 'fr'],
+  generateGlossary: true,
+});
+```
+
+Manage your saved glossaries at [l10n.dev/ws/translation-glossary](https://l10n.dev/ws/translation-glossary).
+
+#### Override the Glossary for a Single Request
+
+Supply your own term mappings via `glossary`. Each `GlossaryEntry` maps a source term to the preferred target translation with an optional context note.
+
+```typescript
+import { AiTranslator, GlossaryEntry } from 'ai-l10n-sdk';
+
+const glossary: GlossaryEntry[] = [
+  { sourceTerm: 'Settings', targetTerm: 'Einstellungen' },
+  { sourceTerm: 'bank', targetTerm: 'Bank', context: 'financial institution' },
+];
+
+const result = await translator.translate({
+  sourceFile: './locales/en.json',
+  targetLanguages: ['de'],
+  glossary,
+});
+```
+
+Pass an empty array (`glossary: []`) to disable the active glossary entirely for this request.
+
+#### Terminology
+
+Use `terminology` to enforce consistent term usage. Synonyms listed for each entry are replaced with the preferred `term`.
+
+```typescript
+import { AiTranslator, TerminologyEntry } from 'ai-l10n-sdk';
+
+const terminology: TerminologyEntry[] = [
+  { term: 'Settings', synonyms: ['Preferences', 'Options', 'Configuration'] },
+  { term: 'Dashboard' },
+];
+
+const result = await translator.translate({
+  sourceFile: './locales/en.json',
+  targetLanguages: ['de', 'fr'],
+  terminology,

+### I18nProjectManager.extractLanguageCodeFromPath usage in AiTranslator
+
+`AiTranslator` calls `extractLanguageCodeFromPath()` automatically on each translation to populate `sourceLanguageCode` in the API request. You can override this by setting `sourceLanguageCode` explicitly in `TranslationConfig`.
