Terminology Management

Just as your product or service is the foundation of your business, so are the words you use to describe them. As businesses grow, inconsistencies in corporate language can often arise as multiple teams from across the enterprise collaborate on the same project. These inconsistencies, when identified, cost valuable time and money to correct. Terms bases and glossaries can help make sure language consistency across international products, reduce risks associated with legal or branding issues and reduce the total cost of your localization efforts.

Milengo’s terminology experts can work with you to analyze the concepts and structures used in your business and help build glossaries and a list of standard terms. Our collaborative translation work-flow then ensures that glossaries are managed centrally and shared between translators. Multiple queries can be handled simultaneously with duplicates filtered out, perfect for large projects with multiple translators working in different languages on the same content. Any queries on terminology that can’t be answered by either a glossary or by our reviewers can then be sent on to you for clarification. Milengo can also help find terms and definitions that should be checked for legal, geopolitical, or cultural issues and arrange for any necessary regulatory language certification.

If you already work with terms-bases or glossaries Milengo can easily leverage your existing assets. We accept all database and file formats and can help you check and update them if necessary before starting a new project. If you’re looking to standardise your corporate language, improve product usability, reduce the cost of localization and deliver a clear message to your customers in all languages, Milengo can help.
