About Our Terminology Management Services
Terminology work is the basis of efficient corporate communication. This is because defining a company-specific technical vocabulary or “corporate language” helps to ensure consistent messaging and targeted communication, both internally and with customers.
It is furthermore an important basis for any translation and linguistic services such as software localization and AI-powered translations like machine translation and can lead to potential cost savings and better quality in the subsequent translation process.
Seprotec has a large team of translators and terminology experts who are experienced in defining and managing terminology in multiple languages and a variety of industries.
