Terminology Management

A clear message in every language

Terminology management by Milengo enables companies to standardize their corporate language, improve product usability and ultimately reduce the cost of localization.

Let’s talk

Application of your terminology in all target markets

Consistent corporate brand communication

Central management of your linguistic assets

Accurate translations at first try

One brand, one voice

When teams from across the enterprise collaborate on the same project, inconsistencies in corporate language can arise. As your business grows across borders, these inconsistencies lead to inaccurate translations, eating up valuable time and money to deal with. Milengo’s terminology services give you control over the key language related to your products and services. Your messaging remains consistent throughout all content – from user manuals to websites, software applications and marketing collateral.

Get it right every time

Terminology will increase linguist productivity and ease review workflows, especially when it comes to technical documents. With terminology databases available directly within the translation tool, linguists can easily apply the approved terms in their work, maximizing the efficiency of the translation process. The correct application of terms is then automatically checked during our QA procedure, establishing a failproof mechanism and eliminating the risks associated with legal or branding issues.

How it works

Milengo’s terminology specialists can analyse your corporate language with the aim of building a dedicated list of standard terminology. Once finished, our collaborative translation workflow ensures that these linguistic assets are managed centrally and shared between translators.
