Research Techniques for Accurate Terminology
Course summary
Description Quickly learn why accurate terminology will make or break your business. Be introduced to several advanced research techniques using common internet browsers and how to filter, manage, and store your results. Learn effective strategies for improving your terminology database using journal subscriptions, resources in your community, a powerful web of contacts, and professional memberships. If you work in a highly specialized field, accurate terminology may not always be available when you need it. Online dictionaries and forums can only take you so far. You could spend hours desperately scanning unorganized search results and still end up with nothing. Translators who work in popular fields such as finance or engineering may have a possible term provided to them solely based on the number of translators working in the same field. However, highly specialized translators are often pioneers in creating new terminology and it can cause us headaches if we don't have the right resources and knowledge to draw from. In this course you will learn how to ensure accuracy for highly specialized fields for which terminology may not yet be available. You will gain knowledge of different tools and techniques to find, store, and manage your search results. You will also harness the power of journal subscriptions, academic databases, and other resources to increase your terminology database. Target audience
