- Flags and deletes duplicates in a glossary
- Flags blacklisted translations in a list of segments or a corpus.
- Compares a list of terms against a corpus and determines the frequency of each term |
Glossaries Comparison
|
- Compares two glossaries and identifies which source terms are missing and which terms are translated inconsistently across both glossaries.
- Displays translation inconsistencies.
|
Aligned-strings Comparison |
-Compares two sets of aligned strings flagging each string pair as "Modified" or "Identical". |
Terminology
Customisation
|
- Customises terminology to adapt it to different needs and formats (e.g. Systran Machine Translation dictionaries), based on tags and clues entered by the user.
- Removes any "noise" from text (e.g. tags, linguistic clues, etc)
- Generates Systran user dictionaries and populates them with terminology from a legacy glossary or dictionary.
|
Terminology
Validation |
-Given a list of terms, this macro:
- Flags each one of those terms
if they occur in a corpus as often as the frequency value predefined by the user.
- Highlighs terms in context.
- Sorts terms in alphabetical order, by frequency, or by number of words.
|
Terminology
Leveraging |
-Populates an empty list of terms reusing translations and any other information available from a legacy glossary. |
Extraction |
-Extracts just a single instance of each term from a list of terms leaving any duplicates behind (if any). |
Reports & Metrics |
-Generates graphical reports and metrics based on most of the functions described above (e.g. validation, diagnosis, comparisons). |
