SURVEY: THE USE OF TERMINOLOGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS INTEGRATED TO TEnTS

A quem possa interessar


We are conducting a research project based at the University of Ottawa to learn more about how language professionals manage terminology within Translation Environment Tools. We would like to invite you to participate in this study.
If you are a language professional who works with Translation Environment Tools (e.g. Déjà Vu, SDL TRADOS, MultiTrans, WordFast, OmegaT), we need your help!

Q: Will it take long?
A: No – only about 15-20 minutes of your time.

Q: Do I have to give my name or contact details?
A: No – you can remain completely anonymous.

Q: What do I have to do?
A: Answer a short survey on how you manage terminology.

Q: What if my answers aren’t right?
A: There are no wrong answers! We want to know about YOUR practices. It doesn’t matter how anyone else responds. Just give us your honest opinion.

Q: What will the outcome of this project be?
A: We hope to achieve a better understanding of the terminology-related needs of language professionals, and to determine whether or how terminology management can be optimized when integrated within Translation Environment Tools.
