Glossary Creation & Terminology Management
Establishing your brand’s glossary and terminology can help you build your brand’s capital by creating consistency and leveraged savings.
Our experience shows that by putting the upfront effort into glossary and terminology creation, you will save both time and money. Also, by having an established glossary and termbase, your LSP can perform quality control checks before your final delivery, to ensure the consistency of your brand.
Getting started:
- Determine the objective-what is the goal you want to achieve? This can consist of identifying key terms, noun and/or verb usage, product names that may not be translated.
- What do we need from you? Product literature in the English source to best extract like terms, any existing glossaries or terminology lists to establish a baseline.
- Work through the scope. Identify term base and glossary terms, definitions of each as needed, then translate (by using any existing translation memory), perform edit and QA and then it’s best practice for you to perform an in-country review process to ensure the terms and glossary are agreed upon prior to implementation.
- Once finalized, we’ll begin implementing on your next project!
- This is a continuous process, with updates to your glossaries with new terminology for every project, to ensure the most current agreed upon company terms are used. This is maintained per client request; some prefer a one-off approach with locking in the terms and glossaries and performing a refresh as advised.
