Terminology Automation
Automated term extraction and terminology checking to maintain consistency at scale.
Managing terminology manually across large volumes of multilingual content is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency. Terminology automation uses structured processes and software tools to support term extraction, consistency checking, and maintenance at a scale that manual processes cannot achieve.
Terminology Consistency at Scale
Terminology management becomes increasingly difficult as content volume grows. What can be managed manually for a small translation program quickly becomes unmanageable across multiple products, markets, and content teams. Automation makes it possible to maintain terminology standards consistently across large volumes without proportionally increasing the manual effort involved.
We implement terminology automation as part of broader language workflow improvement, integrating automated extraction and checking tools with human approval and validation processes that maintain the quality of the term base over time.
What's Included
A complete approach to terminology automation
Automatic Term Extraction
Automated extraction of candidate terms from source content using terminology extraction tools, producing a shortlist for human review and approval.
Candidate Term Review
Human review of automatically extracted candidate terms to confirm, reject, or modify entries before they are added to the approved term base.
Glossary Integration
Integration of approved terms into the translation workflow so they are automatically suggested or enforced during translation.
Automated Terminology Checks
Automated checking of translated content against the approved term base to flag inconsistencies before human review.
Multilingual Updates
Automated support for propagating approved terminology changes across all languages in the term base when source terms are updated.
Human Approval Workflow
Structured approval workflow ensuring that all automated terminology suggestions and updates pass through human review before they become active.
Process
How it works
Terminology Audit and Tool Selection
We review the existing terminology resources, content volume, and workflow to identify where automation can add the most value and which tools are appropriate.
Extraction and Candidate Review Setup
Automated extraction is configured and a review process is set up to efficiently process candidate terms with appropriate subject-matter reviewers.
Integration into Translation Workflow
Approved terminology is integrated into the translation tools so it is automatically available during translation and checked in automated QA.
Automated Check Configuration
Terminology checks are configured in the QA workflow to flag deviations from the approved term base before content reaches human review.
Governance and Maintenance
A governance process is established for ongoing term addition, update, and deprecation, with automation supporting efficiency and humans ensuring quality.
Why Randa Translation
What sets our approach apart
Human Approval in Every Step
Automation handles extraction and suggestion; humans approve what enters the official term base and what is enforced in production.
Scales with Content Volume
Automated extraction and checking make it practical to maintain terminology standards across large content volumes that manual review cannot cover.
Reduces Terminology Inconsistency
Automated checking in the QA workflow catches terminology errors before they reach the reviewer, reducing the consistency burden in the review stage.
Integrated with Translation Tools
Approved terminology is integrated directly into the translation environment so translators have access to it without switching tools.
