Across’ Terminology System

Systematic terminology work saves time and money

Consistent use of terminology not only improves document quality, clarity, and compliance with corporate guidelines and industry regulations; it also reduces future translation costs significantly.

Across language technology takes terminology management to the next level. The advanced technology provides companies with bilingual term extraction from existing translation memory (TM), verification of terms against the TM to search for and correct inconsistencies, translator terminology suggestions, cascading searches, rights-based TM instances (e.g. for different units or departments) within the terminology database.

Across’ terminology system enables you to

Acquire consistent terminology
Beef up translation quality
Achieve significant cost reductions of up to 85%

Terminology has a major impact on a company’s external appearance because it is an essential part of the corporate identity. By using Across language technology with its powerful, integrated terminology system, companies can ensure uniform corporate terminology and reduce administration overhead as well as translation costs.
