I'm interested to know how a glossary server would match a concept (from the glossary) to a word (in the source text). Or... were you thinking of having a glossary server that doesn't perform any automatic matching of words from the source text? >> Isn't Martin Benjamin working on such a list via AnLoc? >> http://africanlocalisation.net/en/terminology > Perhaps. In the last times there are lot of tools for translating, > maintaining TM, glossaries... Too much for me. No, the Anloc Terminology project is not a tool -- it is a list. It is a list of 2500 terms, to be translated into many African languages. If one can get one's hands on that list, it could be a useful start for a super list of GUI terms. Martin's list also has nothing to do with TM. > Yes, perhaps could do term editing, but if we set up a terminology > server, the term editing should be considered term suggestion that > must be approved by some user of the terminology server (a human). And this is why such a terminology server will fail. If users who add terms find that their expertise is not respected by the community, and that their contributions are regarded as second-rate until formally approved by some other guy, they will lose interest in participating. >> A way to judge a CAT tool's term recognition is (a) whether it can >> do fuzzy matching when doing glossary recognition... > Where is "exact matching"?

Fuzzy matching can be important in glossaries if the glossary does not contain all possible permutations of a word from the source text. If the glossary contains "file" but not "files", will the CAT tool give a result if the source text contains "files"?
