Key Benefits

Save time and increase your efficiency

• Automatically locate and extract potential monolingual or bilingual terms from existing documentation or translation memories to build termbases and glossaries quickly

Improve the consistency, quality and accuracy of translation

Improve client satisfaction

• By automatically identifying the right terms and importing them on-the-fly into an SDL MultiTerm termbase, you can ensure that you deliver your translations accurately and on time.

Key Features

Available for individual translators and terminologists. You can now save hours of time through automated terminology extraction, enabling you to quickly create terms and custom glossaries for your projects.
