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.
