Terminology – the key to successful technical communication
▪
The editing, translation and communication of reliable, comprehensible and user-friendly information – whether in one or several languages – requires precise, unambiguous, standardised and above all consistent terminology. Increasingly high demands on the production and presentation of information content make it a necessity to create, store and update terminological resources.
▪
A user-optimised and searchable multilingual terminology resource that is available to an authorised user group using sophisticated tools is an indispensable requirement for successful technical communication. That objective can only be achieved by the use of a powerful terminology management system.
 

Terminological discipline – from editing to translation

A modern terminology management system for storing, managing and displaying electronic dictionaries offers particular advantages to every user group.
Translators benefit from
▪
total integration in the translation memory system,
▪
quick and easy data input options,
▪
and powerful search functions.
Terminology managers value
▪
the support of multiple languages,
▪
the simple structure of multilingual dictionaries,
▪
flexible management functions, and
▪
the easy maintenance of the terminology entered.
Editors can
▪
use the terminology database via a direct access facility, and
▪
obtain suggestions for terminology.
The ideal terminology management system assists editors and translators to the same degree. By strict observance of the prescribed or preferred terminology in editing work, the content created is made unambiguous – and thus terminological consistency in the process of translation into the target languages is also assured.

Quality assurance through terminology

Consistent use of the correct terminology
▪
removes and prevents misunderstandings,
▪
creates the conditions for unambiguous communication,
▪
ensures precise use of language and makes it easier to understand,
▪
is the basis for terminological coherence and consistency,
▪
assures the quality of textual content,
▪
improves the results of translation into other languages, and
▪
simplifies communication across language and cultural boundaries.
