我们提出了一个半自动的工具，termight，支持双语词汇表的建设。Termight由两个部分组成，处理词汇表构建中的两个子任务：（a）在源语言文件中编制所有技术术语的单语清单，（B）在平行的源-目标文件中查找这些术语的翻译。作为第一步（在每个组件中），该工具基于术语提取和单词对齐算法自动提取候选术语和候选翻译。然后，它执行几个额外的预处理步骤，这大大方便了候选列表的人工后期编辑。这些步骤包括对候选项进行分组和排序，并将示例一致性行与每个候选项相关联。最后，预处理中准备的数据通过交互式界面呈现给用户，该界面支持快速的后期编辑操作。Termight由AT & T Business Translation Services（以前的AT & T Language Line Services）的翻译人员部署，导致半自动词汇表构建率非常高。
We propose a semi-automatic tool, termight, that supports the construction of bilingual glossaries. Termight consists of two components which address the two subtasks in glossary construction: (a) preparing a monolingual list of all technical terms in a source-language document, and (b) finding the translations for these terms in parallel source–target documents. As a first step (in each component) the tool extracts automatically candidate terms and candidate translations, based on term-extraction and word-alignment algorithms. It then performs several additional preprocessing steps which greatly facilitate human post-editing of the candidate lists. These steps include grouping and sorting of candidates and associating example concordance lines with each candidate. Finally, the data prepared in preprocessing is presented to the user via an interactive interface which supports quick post-editing operations. Termight was deployed by translators at AT & T Business Translation Services (formerly AT & T Language Line Services) leading to very high rates of semi-automatic glossary construction.
