What is Terminology Management?

Undoubtedly, terminology management is impotant for both LSPs and clients. It plays a key role in the translation process streamline. Glossary creation is considered to be the first step in the processes of translation in order to ensure the highest quality of products. Therefore, some clients provide their own glossaries along with projects' files. The same thing could be said about localization. Clearly, the use of glossaries is beneficial, because they increase consistency and make translators' life easier.

Therefore, translators, localizers and interpreters must be able to manage terminology online and offline to keep their workflow running smoothly. The current CAT Tools provide some features to manage terminology. For instance,  SDL Trados Studio allows the creation of termbases through its editor and the standalone SDL MultiTerm. However, these software might not be practical for interpreters who need quick consultation or search for specific terms. Indeed, many terminology-focused platforms have been developed to facilitate the interpreters' work, speed up the process of production according to the various interpreting settings, and increase performance quality.

What is Machine Translation?

Machine Translation simply means automated translation. This term is used versus the term Human Translation, i.e. translation which is produced by human translators.

Here is a playlist of videos which introduces you to the topic of Machine Translation.

They will have to dig out all the available databases and resources by using advanced techniques of research.
