Develop a multilingual glossary

A glossary is a compilation of terms in the source language that are specific to an industry, company, or product. A glossary includes the source language terms and their corresponding translations in one or more languages. Developing a multilingual glossary usually entails thorough research to ensure that the term chosen in the target country conveys exactly the same meaning as in the country of origin.

An experienced translation company will have dedicated terminology specialists to manage this type of research and perform terminology identification and extraction. Assistance from the client is also invaluable when developing a glossary. Certain English terms can often have multiple meanings and can be (correctly) translated several different ways into a foreign language. Agostini Associati can develop a proposed multilingual glossary that will then be validated and approved by the client.

Once developed, a glossary can become an invaluable resource for the translator, especially if the translation company has fully integrated computer-aided translation (CAT) tools in its workflows. With the glossary (or a computerised terminology database) to hand, when the translator encounters a special term in the source document for which an approved translation exists, the CAT tool will highlight the term and immediately and automatically suggest the preferred translation. This ensures terminological consistency while improving productivity.

Contact Agostini Associati today to define your tailor-made plan to achieve consistent terminology across all your company’s documentation.
