Terminology management and TermData

Your terminology, managed by Translingua

Correct terminology is the foundation of consistent corporate language and therefore of uniform, high-impact communication. Translingua maintains a detailed archive of translations. It contains industry-specific glossaries, dictionaries, specialist literature, helpful parallel texts and customer-specific terminology databases.

Translingua captures, manages and translates your terminology

What is terminology?

Terminology is the coining and use of words or phrases (terms) to refer to industry-specific products or services. Companies frequently use specific corporate terminology (terms) to describe processes as accurately as possible and thereby differentiate themselves from competitors. Terminology management ensures that such terms are stored within an organised structure, approved efficiently and translated correctly.

Why is terminology management so important?

There are many reasons why terminology should be professionally managed:

  • Terminology management guarantees consistency throughout your texts, in both the source and target languages.
  • Terminology enhances efficiency, in both the writing and the translation of your documents.
  • Terminology management ensures conciseness; things are identified by their (correct) names.

The terminology database, TermData for short

You manage extensive documentation with a large number of specialist terms in multiple languages? Both internal and external specialists should be able to access it so as to contribute to consistent terminology? Welcome to TermData, Translingua’s web-based terminology database!

With TermData, you can give internal and external project teams simple, easy access to your in-house terminology database. You decide who can alter or create entries. You have the option to enter comments, definitions, abbreviations, synonyms, inadmissible nomenclature and other relevant information for each entry. You can also set “unvalidated” status for a new term so that it can be reviewed and approved later by other experts.

Place your confidence in our proven solution and benefit from TermData’s many advantages:

  • Fast and simple implementation
  • Hosting in a Swiss data centre with SSL-protected connection

  • Existing databases can be imported
  • Intuitive menu navigation and search function
  • Three stages of authorisation: User, Admin and Superadmin

TermData runs independently of other tools and gives you total control of your terminology. There are practically no limits to its application. Define and manage terminology data in subject categories such as technology, education, law or finance. By the way, if you have terminology lists for different subjects and don’t want to lump all your terms together, you can give them separate names in TermData.
