1About Statistical Terminology ExtractionABOUT STATISTICAL TERMINOLOGY EXTRACTIONWelcome to the SDL MultiTerm Extract Tools Guide. This guide explains the method of statisticalterminology extraction using SDL MultiTerm Extract.This allows you to extract candidate terms to add to a new or existing termbase. It reduces the timeand effort involved in generating a termbase by automating the process where terms are identifiedand entered into a central repository for review and approval. This is especially useful when creatinga termbase from large volumes of documents or from new information that is constantly beingupdated.STATISTICAL EXTRACTION USING SDL MULTITERMEXTRACTSDL MultiTerm Extract uses a statistical extraction method to determine the frequency of theappearance of candidate terms. It extracts term candidates and, for multilingual termbases, theirprobable translations found in sentences, incomplete sentence fragments and strings of code. Theextracted terms are presented as a term candidate word or phrase.After running the extraction process, SDL MultiTerm Extract displays a term candidate list.Following review and validation, term candidates become term lists. In the SDL MultiTerm Extractinterface, you can quickly and easily validate terms. You can then use the multiple export options toincorporate extracted terms into your existing MultiTerm terminology management system. Termscan be exported to a MultiTerm termbase, MultiTerm XML format or a tab-delimited format. Thisallows, for example, translators to access those terms when using the Translator’s Workbenchtermbases.SDL MultiTerm Extract supports all languages, including those of the Far East. If you are using anon-Western languages, you must have support for the relevant language installed on yourcomputer.1-2SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE

Sections include:CStatistical Extraction Features in SDL MultiTerm ExtractCSupported LanguagesCSupported File FormatsCRelated DocumentationChapter2
2Statistical Extraction Features in SDL MultiTerm ExtractSTATISTICAL EXTRACTION FEATURES IN SDLMULTITERM EXTRACTSDL MultiTerm Extract uses statistical extraction to extract term candidates and, for multilingualtermbases, their probable translations and present them in a term candidate list. You can extractterms from monolingual or bilingual documents and from translation memories and then quicklyand easily validate the terms.The various export options enable you to incorporate extracted terms into existing SDL MultiTermExtract termbases or to export terms to MultiTerm XML format or to tab-delimited format. You canalso check for terminology consistency between the termbase and a translated file.SDL MultiTerm Extract allows you to do the following:CCreate term candidate lists from monolingual documents.CCreate bilingual term candidate lists from bilingual file formats.CUpdate existing multilingual termbases by creating new translations for terms already storedin MultiTerm.CAnalyze the quality of termbases and documents by comparing the terms found in documentswith those stored in the termbase.CCompile bilingual dictionaries from bilingual file formats.CManually extract terms from the source document(s) to complement and enhance theautomatic term extraction process.CExport extracted terms to MultiTerm, MultiTerm XML or a tab-delimited format.SUPPORTED LANGUAGESSDL MultiTerm Extract is fully Unicode-compliant and supports all Unicode-compliant languages.However, to render non-Western languages successfully in SDL MultiTerm Extract, you must havesupport for the relevant language installed on your computer.SUPPORTED FILE FORMATSSDL MultiTerm Extract supports term extraction from a large range of file formats. The supportedfile formats depend on the type of project that you are using.2-2SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE
Supported File Formats2The file formats supported by the monolingual term extraction can be used in a bilingual project, butno translations are extracted. The formats can be used when you want to find source terms but youmust add your own translation for any terms that are extracted.ProjectSupported File TypesMonolingual Term ExtractionProjectTXT – Plain textRTF – Rich text formatMicrosoft Office Word (*.doc)HTML, HTM, JSP, ASP, ASPXSGML, SGM, XMLVentura (*.txt)Adobe PageMaker (*.txt)QuarkXPress (*.qsc, *.txg, *.ttg, *.tag)TTX – TRADOStag file formatAdobe InDesign (*.isc)Microsoft Office PowerPoint (*.ppt, *.pps,*.pot)Microsoft Office Excel (*.xls, *.xlt)Bilingual Term ExtractionProjectBILINGUAL FORMATS:TMX – Translation memory exchangeformatTMW – Translator’s WorkbenchTranslator’s Workbench TXT format (*.txt)TTX – TRADOStag filesMONOLINGUAL FORMATS:TXT – Plain textRTF – Rich text formatMicrosoft Office Word (*.doc)HTML, HTM, JSP, ASP, ASPXSGML, SGM, XMLVentura (*.txt)Adobe PageMaker (*.txt)QuarkXPress (*.qsc, *.txg, *.ttg, *.tag)Translator’s Workbench RTF format (*.rtf)Adobe InDesign (*.isc)Microsoft Office PowerPoint (*.ppt, *.pps,*.pot)Microsoft Office Excel (*.xls, *.xlt)SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE2-3

3SDL MultiTerm Extract ProjectsSDL MULTITERM EXTRACT PROJECTSSDL MultiTerm Extract projects allow you to extract terms from existing files. Those terms can thenbe reviewed, validated and exported to a termbase or other available formats to assist in translation.Project TypesThere are five types of project in SDL MultiTerm Extract:CMonolingual Term Extraction ProjectCBilingual Term Extraction ProjectCDictionary Compilation ProjectCTranslation ProjectCQA Project.Use the New Project Wizard in SDL MultiTerm Extract to create any of the projects.D3-2NOTESDL MultiTerm Extract support a wide range of file formats. These formats vary depending onwhich project is created. See “Supported File Formats” on page 2-2.ProjectPurposeMonolingual TermExtraction ProjectExtracts terminology from a text in one language.Bilingual TermExtraction ProjectExtracts terminology from monolingual formats. Extractsand translates from bilingual formats.Dictionary CompilationProjectExtracts a dictionary from an existing translation memoryfile or a bilingual file which has been translated usingTranslator’s Workbench.QA ProjectAnalyzes and allows you to improve the quality oftermbases and documents.Translation ProjectProvides suggestions from existing texts and allows youto enter translations to a termbase.SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE
SDL MultiTerm Extract Projects3About Translation ProjectsA Translation Project updates an existing termbase in MultiTerm by creating new translations in oneor more languages for corresponding terms already stored in the termbase. You will need a text in asupported file format and the MultiTerm termbase.For example, if your termbase contains English and Spanish indexes, and already has the Englishterm “Door”, and your translated file contains the equivalent term in Spanish, the Translation Projectcan update the termbase automatically with this term.About QA ProjectsA QA Project analyzes and improves the quality of termbases and documents by comparing theterms found in documents with those stored in the termbase.A QA Project allows you to:CMonitor the usage of terms found in project files and the project termbase and their respectivetranslations. This allows you to check that the terms used in the document are those that arecontained in the termbase.CEvaluate the translation quality of documents on the basis of the stored terminology.Each QA Project provides a QA report. A QA report provides statistical information on the terms inproject files and existing terms from the MultiTerm termbase in the project.Overview of the Term Extraction ProcessAll SDL MultiTerm Extract projects are created using the New Project Wizard. This procedure variesdepending on what type of project you are creating. Displayed below is an overview of creating aMonolingual Term Extraction Project, Bilingual Term Extraction Project, Dictionary CompilationProject or Translation Project.Each step is explained in more detail later in this guide.1Create a new SDL MultiTerm Extract project by selecting File New Project from the menubar. The New Project Wizard allows you to select the project type, add files, customize settingsand specify stopword lists. See “Creating a Project” on page 3-6.2Start the term extraction process by selecting Project Process from the menu bar. See“Extracting Terms” on page 3-24.SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE3-3
33-4SDL MultiTerm Extract Projects3View the extracted term list in the Term window. For Translation Projects, the translations forthe source terms may be located in either in the input files or in the MultiTerm termbase. See“Term Window” on page 3-28.4In the Term properties window you can check each word, and for Translation Projects, you canselect a term and add translations.5Validate terms using the Concordance window for reference. See “Validating Extracted Terms”on page 3-36.6Export validated terms by selecting File Export the menu bar and using the Export Wizard.See “Exporting Terms in SDL MultiTerm Extract” on page 4-1.SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE

3Creating a ProjectCREATING A PROJECTAll SDL MultiTerm Extract projects are created using the New Project Wizard.The example shows you how to create all of the different project types in SDL MultiTerm Extract.The procedure for creating a Monolingual Term Extraction Project, Bilingual Term Extraction Projectand Dictionary Compilation Project is similar.DNOTEIf you are extracting terms from HTML, SGML, XML, ASP or JSP formats, See “File FormatSettings” on page 5-9.Before You BeginIf you intend to use a remote termbase in your project, the following information is required todefine termbase connection settings in the New Project Wizard:CMultiTerm Server computer details – determine the MultiTerm Server computer name thatprovides access to the termbases with which you want to work.CMultiTerm Server connection type – find out whether your computer and the MultiTermServer computer are linked by a standard LAN or a MultiTerm Anywhere connection. Astandard LAN connection applies when both computers belong to the same physical domain.A MultiTerm Anywhere connection applies when the two computers belong to separatephysical domains.CMultiTerm Server login details – determine the user name and password for your MultiTermServer login.Contact your MultiTerm administrator for these details and for information about your termbaseuser rights. You must have sufficient rights to work with a remote termbase from SDL MultiTermExtract.If you intend to use a local termbase in your project, know the name and location before you openthe New Project Wizard. You have exclusive access and unlimited user rights in all local termbases,and no login details are required.3-6SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE
Creating a ProjectD3NOTEWhen you connect to a MultiTerm Server, the license restrictions as defined on the server areapplied, so you might not be able to open the termbase because no free viewing seats areavailable on the server. In this case, wait until an appropriate seat becomes available and informyour MultiTerm administrator.To create a new SDL MultiTerm Extract project:1Select File New Project from the menu bar. The New Project Wizard opens and the Chooseproject type, name and location page is displayed. Use this page to define the project type,name and location.2Select your project type:C Monolingual Term Extraction Project – contains extracted terms from one or more singlelanguage texts.C Bilingual Term Extraction Project – contains extracted source and target terms frombilingual files (TTX, TMW, TMX). You can also use WinAlign export files and addmonolingual files to bilingual term extraction projects.C Translation Project – used to update an existing MultiTerm termbase by offering newtranslations for terms already stored in the termbase and adding new term pairs.C QA Project – helps you monitor the use of terms in a document and a termbase and theway they are translated. It allows you to evaluate the translation quality of documents andtermbases.C Dictionary Compilation Project – contains an alphabetically-sorted dictionary compiledfrom bilingual files (TTX, TMW, TMX). It includes source language terms as well as theirtarget language translations.SDL MULTITERM EXTRACT TOOLS GUIDE3-7
3Creating a Project3Complete the following information:C Enter a name for the project in the Project Name box.C Click Browse to select a location for the SDL MultiTerm Extract project.
