How to Create Term Bases
WHAT IS A TERM BASE?
A term base (TB), short for terminology database and often referred to as a glossary, is a bilingual or multilingual database which can be used for storing industry-specific and company-specific terminology and technical terms to be used in translation projects. Term bases are vital in translation as a single word or term in one language can have multiple accepted meanings in another language.
