by OFER TIROSH 03/10/2024

Tomedes is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Bilingual Glossary Generator, a powerful tool designed to simplify the creation of bilingual glossaries for industry-specific translations.

Ensuring accuracy and consistency in specialized terminology is crucial for clear communication, and the Bilingual Glossary Generator is here to streamline that process. 

Whether you're a translator, project manager, or business with multilingual needs, this tool will revolutionize the way you manage complex terminologies and improve the overall quality of your translation projects.

What is the Tomedes Bilingual Glossary Generator?

AI has revolutionized industries like translation by boosting efficiency and cutting costs. In response, Tomedes developed free AI-powered tools to automate tasks and improve translation workflows. By combining AI with human expertise, Tomedes helps users deliver high-quality translations faster and more efficiently, staying competitive in global markets.

One such tool is the Bilingual Glossary Generator, an AI-powered tool that simplifies the creation of industry-specific glossaries. Unlike conventional glossary tools, it automatically creates bilingual glossaries from a source text and its translation.

From our experience, some clients ask us to prepare a glossary for them, which can lead to additional costs.

In our experience, some clients ask us to prepare a glossary for them, which can add to the costs. The Glossary Generator automates this process, saving you time and effort. This tool is ideal for industries that rely on precise and consistent terminology, such as legal, medical, technical, and financial fields. 

Why glossaries matter in translation

Glossaries are crucial for translation projects because they ensure consistent translation of terms across documents. Without a glossary, the same term could be translated differently, leading to confusion or errors.

For example, a technical manual might use "voltage regulator," but one translator might write "voltage controller." This could cause confusion or even create safety risks.

Creating a glossary upfront gives translators a reference for the project. This ensures terms are translated consistently every time. The Bilingual Glossary Generator simplifies this manual, time-consuming task by turning it into an automated process.

How the Bilingual Glossary Generator Works

So, how does this  Bilingual Glossary Generator work? It’s designed to make the process as simple and efficient as possible:

1. Upload your source text and translation

Start by uploading the original document (source text) and the translated version. Then, copy and paste them into the text boxes.

2. Automated glossary creation

After uploading both texts, click the "Generate Glossary" button. The AI tool will scan the texts and automatically extract key terms along with their translations. This eliminates the need to manually find and list each term, saving you a lot of time.

3. Review and edit

After generating the glossary, you can review the list to ensure that all key terms are correctly captured. Users can't edit the bilingual glossary directly in the tool. However, you can copy and paste it into Google Docs. 

We’re currently developing a feature that will allow users to download CSV files directly from the Bilingual Glossary Generator.  This step ensures that your glossary is tailored specifically to your project’s needs.

Benefits of using the Bilingual Glossary Generator

The Bilingual Glossary Generator offers many advantages for translation projects, making it a great tool for your workflow. Here are a few key benefits:

1. Time savings

Creating glossaries manually can be a tedious and time-consuming task. By automating the process, the Bilingual Glossary Generator saves you hours of work. This allows you to focus on other important aspects of your translation projects while the tool handles the glossary creation.

2. Improved accuracy

In translation, accuracy is everything. The Glossary Generator captures and translates key terms accurately. This reduces the risk of errors that happen with manual glossary creation. For example, in financial translations, terms like "interest rate" and "capital gains" must be translated consistently to ensure accuracy.

3. Consistency across projects

When you’re managing large-scale translation projects, maintaining consistency can be a challenge. The Bilingual Glossary Generator ensures consistent use of terms across all documents. It works whether you're translating a single report or an entire website.

4. Seamless integration

The Bilingual Glossary Generator integrates smoothly with your existing tools. It works with both translation management systems (TMS) and computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools. This flexibility allows you to add the tool to your workflow without disrupting your processes.
