Good terminology management is a key component of your translation or localization project. Establishing terminology standards, processes, and distribution systems helps ensure that your terms are managed consistently and appropriately across all languages and mediums.
At Eriksen, we consider terminology management a standard part of our process for large and ongoing projects. Too often updates to terminology databases are done at the end of a project, leaving room for error and inefficiency. Through our integrated approach, our project managers can evaluate your existing glossaries or develop new ones using the latest terminology management software, so that all linguists receive the same information at the outset of a project.
Using SDL’s state-of-the-art suite of MultiTerm products, we can create, manage and make your terminology accessible to you and all the relevant members of the translation project.
- SDL MultiTerm Extract: This application automatically extracts terms from existing texts on the basis of statistical information. With SDL MultiTerm Extract, we can extract a monolingual or bilingual set of relevant term candidates in your text. Relevant term candidates are those words or phrases that are integral to your subject matter and are frequently repeated. This makes the creation of bilingual or multilingual terminology lists more efficient.
- SDL MultiTerm Desktop: Our project managers and linguists use this software to build, manage, and maintain termbases in order to standardize terminology.
- SDL MultiTerm Online: We share this supplementary application with clients like you. It allows you to access and review your glossaries without the need for special software on your end. You can search, filter, edit, add, import and export content to your online termbases. All you need is access to the Internet and you can see exactly what our linguists see.

And in addition to improving the quality of your current project, proper terminology management will make updates and future projects significantly more time and cost efficient.
