Consistent terminology in every language
Native terminologists build your termbase in TBX, Excel or directly inside Trados, memoQ or Phrase — including a style guide and ongoing maintenance across every release.
A termbase guarantees that your brand, product and specialist terms are translated the same way every time. Our native terminologists build and maintain termbases per client, integrated into your CAT tool, with ongoing maintenance through every content cycle.
Our native terminologists build termbases on top of your existing content — glossaries, translation memories, campaign assets — so you never start from scratch. Validation is performed per language by a native specialist. Output is delivered in TBX, Excel or directly integrated into Trados Studio, memoQ or Phrase. On request we provide ongoing maintenance: new terms added with each release, language pairs expanded and periodic clean-up cycles. Terminology management underpins every other multilingual workflow we run — from technical translation to multilingual SEO.
From European core languages to CJK and Arabic — native terminologists per language and per domain. The most-requested languages and language pairs for terminology management are below.
We start from the assets you already have: existing glossaries, style guides, approved translations and translation memories. There is no work-from-scratch — we extract value from what you have already approved.
From your source content, translation memories and reference samples we surface candidate terms that are not yet documented — with frequency counts and contextual examples for each one.
A native terminologist validates every term: linguistically correct, contextually appropriate and aligned with your brand and house style. Edge cases are sent back to you for confirmation before sign-off.
The termbase is delivered into your CAT tool of choice — Trados Studio, memoQ or Phrase — or as TBX, Excel or TMX for any other workflow. We integrate; we do not lock you in.
Optional ongoing maintenance: new terms added with each content release, language pairs expanded, errors corrected and obsolete entries retired. Your termbase stays current as your portfolio evolves.
A termbase is not a nice-to-have. It is the infrastructure that makes every subsequent translation faster, more consistent and more cost-effective. The earlier you invest in it, the larger the compounding effect on your multilingual content operation.
Not a stand-alone termbase but a living terminology infrastructure — built, validated and curated by native specialists in every language you operate in.
Not generalist translators — specialists who have worked for years in your field and know which term belongs in which context, in which language.
Exports for every common CAT tool: Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase (formerly Memsource) and Wordfast — plus TBX, Excel and TMX for any other workflow you run.
We build on your current glossaries, translation memories and approved content — no duplicate work, no blank-slate restart. Whatever you have already validated, we capitalise on.
Termbases evolve with your brand, product and target markets. We offer monthly or per-release maintenance — your terminology stays current, consistent and ready for the next translation cycle.
Every assignment starts with validation and ends — on request — with ongoing maintenance, so terminology stays consistent release after release.
From pharma termbases across six languages to Trados translation-memory migrations — examples where terminology made the measurable difference.
Pharma · EU A pharmaceutical company commissioned a termbase covering product names, contraindications and patient-information terminology in six EU languages. Result: significantly fewer review rounds on subsequent leaflet updates.
Fashion · E-commerce A fashion e-tailer needed 15,000 products with consistent attribute terminology (material, fit, collar type, finish) across four languages. We delivered a Shopify-integrated termbase that fed directly into the catalogue workflow.
B2B · Migration A long-standing B2B client had a ten-year-old Trados translation memory with inconsistent terminology and legacy entries. We normalised, validated and rebuilt it into a clean termbase that became the foundation for their next translation cycle.
Anywhere terminology consistency matters — from technical documentation and patient information to e-commerce catalogues and corporate communications.
What clients say about working with Ecrivus — from termbase build-out to ongoing terminology maintenance across multilingual portfolios.
