Our Work
Terminology management is a core component of good quality translation. When done systematically, it increases translation accuracy, provides time savings for future language services, and reduces overall costs.
Terminology management is the process of documenting terms systematically in order to achieve consistency and accuracy when creating technical documentation, building up marketing material, designing user interfaces, or simply communicating with other colleagues. Proper terminology management guarantees that your organization speaks with one consistent and accurate voice.
Terminology management can be either a relatively simple process, such as building a list of terms, or a very complicated one, involving concept maps and diagrams of how terms are related to each other.
When it comes to terminology, there is never one single source of truth, especially if multiple teams or employees work on the same project. Inconsistent terminology leads to internal and external communication problems in organizations and can occur more frequently than you might think.
Failing to manage terminology properly can confuse readers and even lead to poor product quality and usability. In heavily regulated industries like finance or life science, terminology issues could jeopardize customer safety or account for regulatory compliance risks.

Term Extraction
Collecting relevant and specialized terms and concepts that are frequently used across an organization.
Verification of Terms
The list of collected terms has to be verified and expanded upon, adding semantic information such as definition, grammatical information, and usage examples. At this stage, it is also recommended to mine legacy terms from previous sources.
Building up the termbase
Collecting core terms in a centralized, accessible environment and translating them.
Updating corporate material
The organization must update all materials to accurately reflect the terminology as well as maintain and expand the glossary itself.
