• Files ready for import into Termbases and Translation memories of the main CAT programs like Trados Studio, DVX, CafeTran, memoQ, WordFast Classic/Pro and others
• No need to deal with the daunting and time consuming task of handling and extracting language pairs from the full IATE database

New in June 2023 version:

Data that has been meticulously cleaned and formatted for your benefit

The author of these files has spent a considerable amount of effort to clean up issues and problem areas found in the raw IATE download including:

• Handling of synonyms – sometimes synonyms are strung together within one text record, separated by a semicolon or pipe symbol (|), sometimes they get separate text records
• Context notes are sometimes inserted in the text record between square brackets, making recognition of the terms impossible; these notes are separately handled where possible.
• The termbase as downloaded from IATE lists the Domain the subjects belong to in English only. These Domain names are now shown in the Target language of the Language pair, if possible. This may be especially interesting for users of the package who do not understand English.
• The IATE termbase contains text entries varying from just one word or expression up to complete sentences, inclusive remarks and explanations; these longer text entries have no purpose in a termbase for a CAT tool, but are available for import into a Translation Memory.
• Many of the first users complained about the occurrence of a lot of 1-, 2- and even 3-letter words; others did not want ACRONYMS and abbreviations in their termbase, or at least have the possibility to create separate termbases for these terms.
• Latin and Multilingual terms, introduced earlier in IATE, have been added to both source- and target terms of the relevant entries. This is especially important for those working in botany, chemistry, law, trade, food…

What's included?

This package includes the following:

(all .csv, .tmx, .xml, .tbx are encoded in UTF-8, except for WordFast *TB.txt files which are coded in UTF-16LE)

The reason for adding terms to these separate files is the possibility to add them into separate termbases in order to avoid overloading the main termbases with uninteresting short words.
