Are you familiar with the terminology of your field?
Is tacit knowledge passed on at your workplace? Are you familiar with the correct terms in your industry or the key terms used at your company? We offer assistance in the form of managed glossary creation.
Manage your terminology with term banks, translation memories, and a style guide
Glossary creation involves familiarising ourselves with the terms used by clients in their business operations as well as the specialised vocabulary of the industry. The service includes the preparation, updating, and management of glossaries.
During translation projects, we discuss suitable terms with the client, use translation memory tools to ensure consistent and well-managed terminology, and create monolingual, bilingual, or multilingual term banks in various file formats. Additionally, we create style guides for companies’ written communication.
Be proactive: define your terminology today, not tomorrow
It pays off to begin managed glossary work before the terminology used in the workplace becomes so complex that customers and even employees have difficulties understanding what everyone else is talking about. Usually, this is when a company will also start receiving inquiries and feedback from customers, indicating that something is not clear.
Manage your company’s key terminology
Glossaries help to retain a company’s key terms in one central location where they remain consistent and available to every employee, if needed.
The terms can also be easily updated and revised as language and business operations evolve and new terminology is needed due to product and service development.

The cost benefits of glossaries
Glossaries make searching and finding information easier.
Consistent terms make it easier to manage glossaries and ensure uniform language use. Glossaries make editing faster as texts are produced for various target groups and markets. Consistent glossaries also contribute to a positive product and brand image across all company communications, and employees save valuable time by not having to repeatedly search for the right term.
