Multilingual Terminology Management

TermWiki, the localization industry’s first completely online, wiki-based and collaborative multilingual terminology management system, was developed with MediaWiki software, which, unlike the development platforms of other terminology management system on the market, is especially open in terms of infrastructure—and thus highly customizable.

Every organization their Multilingual Terminology Management is different, and because of that, there really isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. With TermWiki, you don’t have to worry about getting “locked in” by rigid software that forces you to adapt your workflow to the limitations of the system. There are currently tens-of-thousands of extensions available for MediaWiki software, a testament to the fact that this PHP-based application can be easily tweaked and prodded to meet your individual multilingual terminology management needs—and it’s not going to cost you an arm and a leg.
