Dictionary Building To Standardize Your Terminology
The use of clear and consistent terminology is of high importance when creating high-quality technical documentation. As such, it will be necessary to build a dictionary that contains company and industry-specific terminology that is standardized, which means one word can only have one meaning.
We provide the following services in this field:
- Data mining services to extract terms and sentences for analysis
- Linguistic & statistical analysis
- Review to ensure accuracy and completeness
- Dictionary building: a review of the terminology list will result in one or more dictionaries with approved and non-approved terms that will also serve as a basis for any translations. This will reduce translation costs but will also improve the quality of translations. Dictionaries are used by HyperSTE to provide technical content writers with guidance and quality control on company terminology.
