Terminology extraction can be a tedious and time-consuming task. With the current technologies and tools, what options do we have for terminology extraction to streamline the process? This presentation will explore several translation tools to give you an overview of how to automate term extraction.

She has also worked as a Chinese localization specialist for Kyocera Technology Development, and as a localization project management intern for Venga Corporation. She holds an MA in Translation and Localization Management from the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS), where she was a teaching assistant in four core localization courses: Terminology Management, CAT, Website Localization and Translation Management Systems.

Great presentation, very articulate, nice overview of tools, and their UI, feature comparisons, and a good case study gathering statistics on how eachtool performs. Very useful presentation.

Reproduction of the speaker voice for remote listeners made the speaker's statements about 50% intelligible. It would be good to prepare and test a superior remote-audio method for future meetings. The slide availability for remote attendees was good.
