Language Asset Management FAQs
We recommend using mainstream CAT platform tools such as SDL MultiTerm and MemoQ to enhance efficiency. Other tools that meet functionality, compatibility, and user-friendliness requirements, or specialized terminology tools for specific language pairs, are also good choices.
We recommend regular termbase and TM library maintenance—typically on a monthly basis—and timely sharing with all internal and external partners involved in the workflow.
Creating and maintaining an effective TM requires systematic collection, organization, and analysis of translated texts. First, organize text samples from completed translation projects, then classify and annotate them. Use corpus analysis tools to identify language patterns, commonly used expressions, and industry terminology. Regular updates and maintenance are also crucial.
The terminology recognition and matching functions in CAT tools help quickly apply translations from the termbase, improving the accuracy and consistency of key terms. A high-quality TM provides quick application of translations for similar or highly similar source text segments, accelerating translation speed and offering valuable references for translators, ensuring style consistency.
