Quality begins with the right words
▪
In today's global markets a uniform corporate image is more important than ever. Does your product and documentation deliver a consistent corporate image?
▪
Do Support, Marketing, Development and Finance speak the same language?
▪
Is your industry regulated by standards requiring specialist terminology?
 

Why terminology management?

Standardised terminology is an indispensable part of the professional image of your enterprise and a contributing factor to improved customer relationships and communications. Maintaining corporate terminology on a global basis is simplified by terminology management systems.
It is more than just common sense for terminology management systems to be closely linked to the translation environment. Looking up words in dictionaries and copying them into the translation then becomes considerably more straightforward. That is why TermStar is fully integrated in the Transit working environment.
TermStar enables cross-database access to your terminology. That allows you to manage your terminology in different databases and subordinate dictionaries according to the category subdivisions you require. Multiple dictionaries and databases can be simultaneously loaded and appear on the screen as a single dictionary thus providing optimum terminological assistance.
In addition, the layout of the Terminology Manager be configured according to the user's individual requirements. Only the entries that are of relevance to the particular user are displayed. Thus concentration is substantially improved and high quality results are obtained. The right words, in fact.

Simple and efficient terminology work

Operations that have to be performed manually with other products are fully automated in TermStar – the automatic creation of links between an abbreviation and its meaning, between synonyms or between variants of a term simplifies navigation in TermStar. And you can, of course, create your own links manually.
There is also the facility for filtering database entries so that you can work on selected categories of terminology, for instance, or check consistency.
Since uniformity is a key factor in terminology records, TermStar allows you to define which items of information have to be completed as a minimum requirement before a new term is entered in the database.
The ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) standard enables compatibility between TermStar and a variety of database formats such as MS Access, MSSQL, IBM DB 2 and Oracle.
