Coordinating things in time

the act of making things happen or move together at the right time

Use 'synchronization of A and B' or 'synchronization between A and B'; the verb pattern is 'synchronize A with B.'

Từ đồng nghĩa

coordination (broader; can include planning as well as timing) | alignment (emphasizes making things match or fit together) | timing (emphasizes when actions happen)

Từ trái nghĩa

desynchronization (the loss or absence of synchronization) | misalignment (a state where things do not match correctly) | asynchrony (a more technical word for things not occurring together in time)

Keeping data consistent

copying updates so files, photos, contacts, or other information are the same on all devices

Mẫu sử dụng: [app/device/account] synchronization; synchronization with [server/cloud/account]

Lỗi thường gặp:

Do not use 'synchronization' for a simple backup unless data is kept matching between locations. The informal short form is 'sync.'

Từ đồng nghĩa

syncing (informal short form, especially in consumer technology) | replication (more technical; often means copying data between databases or servers) | mirroring (suggests making one place exactly match another, often one-way)

Từ trái nghĩa

data inconsistency (a state where data differs between systems) | data divergence (technical; data gradually becomes different in separate places) | desynchronization (systems stop matching after previously being synchronized)

Matching sound and image

making sound, picture, or subtitles match in time

Do not confuse synchronization with translation; subtitles can be translated correctly but poorly synchronized.

Từ đồng nghĩa

sync (shorter and more common in everyday speech) | alignment (emphasizes matching the timing of separate parts) | timing (focuses on when each sound or image appears)

Từ trái nghĩa

desynchronization (loss of correct timing between media elements) | lag (one part is delayed behind another) | mismatch (a general failure to match correctly)

Lỗi thường gặp:

In technical writing, 'time synchronization' usually means aligning clocks; 'data synchronization' means matching information.

Từ đồng nghĩa

time alignment (emphasizes matching clocks or time references) | clock alignment (specifically about making clocks show the same time) | phase locking (technical; refers to matching the phase of repeating signals)

Từ trái nghĩa

clock drift (clocks gradually move away from the correct shared time) | phase drift (signals gradually stop matching in phase) | timing error (a general error in timing or time alignment)
