The terminology database (termbase) stores subject-specific terminology and equivalents – similar to a glossary. As a rule, a termbase doesn’t just consist of lists of words but is supplemented by additional information such as synonyms, forbidden terms, sample sentences, references, sources or metadata. While using a translation tool (CAT tool), translators receive suggestions and tips from the termbase, which means that they can be sure they are adhering to the customer’s wording.
