Acronyms, synonyms and abbreviations can cause frustration for translators, especially when attempting to translate them without a clear understanding of their meaning.
Terminology management allows you to achieve effective and accurate translations by organizing these terms with a clear set of rules for their usage; this ensures that the correct term is used within a translation.
A term is the word, phrase or technical language that identifies an item that is associated with a particular company, brand, vertical market or field of activity.
Acronyms, synonyms, jargon, abbreviations and industry, service and product naming are all examples for terms.
Terminology is the study of terms and their use. These terms need to be translated in a specific way consistently using a clear set of rules for their accurate translation.
Terms have to be identified, stored for recall and managed with the ability to add new terms, amend existing terms and delete old terms. This ensures the correct term is used within a translation.
