SDL Language Cloud Terminology main functionalities
With SDL Language Cloud Terminology you can:
- Create and manage termbases, add terms and share your terminology assets from the cloud. You can share termbases outside your account only if you are an LSP or a translation business provider, and you purchased a package.
- Customize the termbases by defining data categories and their structure.
- Customize the termbase definition instead of just using the predefined templates.
- Use terminology verification with the SDL Language Cloud termbases. Terminology verification for SDL Language Cloud works the same way as it does with SDL MultiTerm termbases.
- Benefit from higher quality results in searching, both when using linguistic as well as traditional character-based fuzzy searching.
SDL Managed Translation packages in SDL Trados Studio
SDL Managed Translation is also integrated with SDL Language Cloud Terminology. As a translator or reviewer, you can receive translation packages from SDL Managed Translation and then work with them in SDL Trados Studio.
If these packages contain SDL Language Cloud termbases that the project managers want you to use during translation/review, you can access these shared resources if you have an SDL Language Cloud account set up. Depending on your SDL Language Cloud subscription type (if you purchased one) and on the edit/read-only permissions the SDL Managed Translation project manager assigns you, you can either use or use&modify the SDL Language Cloud termbases.
