Terminology

Why Terminology?

  • Enhance the understandability of your documents by avoiding synonyms.
  • Speak with one voice, a harmonized terminology increases the quality of your text.
  • Lower your translation costs. Harmonized (multilingual) terms lead to more matches in your Translation Memory System (TMS).
  • Prevent internal communication conflicts in your own team and with others.
  • Explain to translators the meaning of your product subject/vocabulary.

More languages + more synonyms = More words to handle
