ABSTRACT:
A glossary construction tool for generating and maintaining a translation glossary, consisting of a number of terms and their translations. The glossary construction tool includes a terminology list development tool for generating a terminology list in the source language and a glossary development tool for automatically obtaining candidate translations for the terms in the terminology list. The terminology list development tool will construct the terminology list in the source language by analyzing the source text document to be translated and automatically extracting a list of candidate terms, comprised of multiple word noun phrases and single words not appearing on a standard or predefined stop list of "noise" words. The glossary development tool will obtain candidate translations for terms in the final terminology list by searching the source text document of a word-aligned text pair for a term to be translated and then provide candidate translations based on the indicated alignment with the target text document of the aligned text pair. A concordance tool provides monolingual and bilingual concordances in order to facilitate the user's evaluation of the automatically generated list of candidate terms and candidate translations, respectively.
