SDL International, the world’s leading provider of translation services and technology solutions, announced today the immediate availability of SDLTermFinder 2005 for the fast and accurate extraction of terms from existing text.

 Identifying all the terms that are being used across all types of communication no longer needs to be a time-consuming, laborious task. SDLTermFinder 2005 uses patent-pending technology developed as part of the SDL Knowledge-based Translation System™ to give significantly better results than other methods of automating terminology extraction.

SDLTermFinder 2005 makes use of the structure of language and uses grammatical information to more accurately identify term candidates. Powerful options are provided for filtering the data within the files to increase the percentage of truly pertinent terms in the output. Extracted terms can be imported directly into SDLTermBase Online, thus making the identified terminology quickly accessible to all interested parties over the web.

“By using technology that understands the structure of language SDLTermFinder 2005 achieves very high success rates in terminology identification,” said Keith Mills, Chief Technical Officer at SDL International. “With SDLTermFinder 2005, our customers can reduce terminology time and costs and help to improve the consistency and quality of source and translated materials. Leveraging our patent-pending language technology has enabled us to provide significant benefits to anyone involved in terminology management.”
