Abstract
Abstract A translation management tool and method includes comparing a selected text string to a segment in a domain, indicating matches between the selected text string and at least a portion of the segment, displaying the selected text string and a matching segment paired with a translation of the matching segment, and selectively allowing replacement of the selected text string with at least a portion of the translation of the matching segment. A translation management tool and method includes displaying a segment in a first language, displaying a translation of the segment in a second language, indicating a term from the segment, indicating a translation of the term from the translation of the segment, and adding the term and the translation of the term as a paired bilingual set to a specified glossary.
