ABSTRACT

This chapter explains terminology management from the perspective of the needs and expectations of professional translators. It describes the web-based open-source computer-assisted translation (CAT) Tool MateCat on which EcoLexiCAT is based, as well as the external resources used for terminology enhancement. The chapter provides a detailed explanation of EcoLexiCAT and its different modules. It also explains the procedure with which EcoLexiCAT was tested and evaluated, and discusses the results regarding users’ expectations, behaviour, performance, and satisfaction. In world, machine translation and computer-assisted translation are a consolidated part of the professional translation workflow. Any lexicographic or terminographic tool should take into account the needs of end users, in its structure and content as well as the way that the information is represented so that users can search and interact with the tool. Users must register with a Gmail account in order to start using EcoLexiCAT and be able to save their work.
