+Glossary
+========
+
+This page gives definitions of domain-specific terms that we use a lot inside pretix and that might be used slightly
+differently elsewhere, as well as their official translations to other languages. In some cases, things have a different
+name internally, which is noted with a |:wrench:| symbol. If you only use pretix, you'll never see these, but if you're
+going to develop around pretix, for example connect to pretix through our API, you need to know these as well.

+   * - Term
+     - Definition
+   * - | |:gb:| **Event**
+       | |:de:| Veranstaltung
+     - An event is the central entity in pretix that you and your customers interact with all the time. An event
+       represents one **shop** in which things like tickets can be bought. Since the introduction of event series (see
+       below), this might include multiple events in the real world.
+
+       Every purchase needs to be connected to an event, and most things are completely separate between different
+       events, i.e. most actions and configurations in pretix are done per-event.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Event series**
+       | |:de:| Veranstaltungsreihe
+     - An event series is one of two types of events. Unlike a non-series event, an event series groups together
+       multiple real-world events into one pretix shop. Examples are time-slot-based booking for a museum, a band on
+       tour, a theatre group playing the same play multiple times, etc.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Date**
+       | |:de:| Termin
+       | |:wrench:| Subevent
+     - A date represents a single real-world event inside an event series. Dates can differ from each other in name,
+       date, time, location, pricing, capacity, and seating plans, but otherwise share the same configuration.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Organizer**
+       | |:de:| Veranstalter
+     - An organizer represents the entity using pretix, usually the company or insitution running one or multiple events.
+       In terms of navigation in the system, organizers are the "middle layer" between the system itself and the specific
+       events.
+       Multiple organizers on the same pretix system are fully separated from each other with very few exceptions.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Product**
+       | |:de:| Produkt
+       | |:wrench:| Item
+     - A product is anything that can be sold, such as a specific type of ticket or merchandise.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Variation**
+       | |:de:| Variante
+       | |:wrench:| Item variation
+     - Some products come in multiple variations that can differ in description, price and capacity. Examples would
+       include "Adult" and "Child" in case of a concert ticket, or "S", "M", "L", … in case of a t-shirt product.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Category**
+       | |:de:| Kategorie
+     - Products can be grouped together in categories. This is mostly to organize them cleanly in the frontend if you
+       have lots of them.
+   * - | |:gb:| **Add-on product**
+       | |:de:| Zusatzprodukt
+     - An add-on product
