MultiTerm components

MultiTerm is a termbase management application that helps you to create, manage and present your terminology. MultiTerm has several components which together enable you to work effectively with both local and server-based termbases.

You can use MultiTerm to:

  • Create a centralized repository of all terminology in every language.
  • Enable single or multi-user set-ups.
  • Capture any term-related data, including antonyms and explanatory graphics.
  • Extract terms from existing and new content to quickly build a comprehensive dictionary.
  • Provide access to centralized terms for all content creators and translators.
  • Provide access to terminology via a web interface using MultiTerm Online. External users can view terms while internal users can add and edit.
