Terminology management and glossaries
The right term, in every language, every time.
A glossary defines how your key terms are translated and which terms must never change. We build it with you, maintain it as your products evolve and apply it to every translation, by every linguist.

Why terminology matters
Inconsistent terms cost more than they seem.
When the same part, function or warning is translated in three different ways, readers lose trust and reviewers lose time.
Consistent documentation
Product names, components and functions are translated the same way in every manual and market.
Clearer safety information
Safety-relevant terms are fixed, so warnings and instructions are never ambiguous.
Fewer review rounds
Your reviewers no longer correct the same terms again and again.
Protected brand names
Product and brand names that must not be translated are marked and kept as they are.
Controlled machine translation
Machine translation follows your glossary, so approved terms are used from the first draft.
One reference for everyone
Linguists, reviewers and your in-country teams work from the same list of approved terms.

We have been working with DEMA for a few years now on the translation of manuals: they are a great partner – professional, fast, and efficient, with a team of helpful and kind people. Our native-speaking dealers have also praised the quality and accuracy of the translations.

The advertising agency that follows us called me to tell me that the layout of the brochures that DEMA SOLUTIONS translated was perfect, he added that the translations never come this way, neither from us nor from their other clients. They were very satisfied.

Our collaboration with Dema has made it possible for us to look at the ‘translation issue’ as nothing more than a formality. Giardina Group is an engineering company that specializes in the design and production of innovative surface finishing and coating technologies. We export 90% of our production, and our ability to communicate with our customers in their own language – by providing clear, precise and professional documents – is a significant competitive advantage and an essential part of the high-quality service for which we are known. Our collaboration with Dema has proven to be of immense value: they are an attentive, reliable partner who responds quickly to our needs, even in ‘emergency’ situations.

It has been a non-stop journey, and the quality of multilingual communication in different contexts and for different services has been and continues to be a key strategic factor. Let’s keep up the good work together!

Lilly and Claudio are first of all friends, but they are also highly professional partners in the field of translation services. Always available and punctual, they have been our go-to for over 25 years for our international customers, who always praise the quality of our work. Translation is about more than just switching from one language to another, it’s about capturing the essence of the product and tailoring it to the target audience. Thank you Link-Up!!

When I first came into contact with REM Traduzioni more than 10 years ago, our roles were reversed. They were our client and commissioned us to develop their company website. We soon began to involve Elisabetta and Gloria in the projects we manage for our customers. Our collaboration has blossomed over time, thanks to their ability to deliver a consistently high-quality, professional service in every situation. REM Traduzioni has always been the partner of choice for us when it comes to multilingual communication.

I got to know REM Traduzioni a few years ago when I joined the Ferretto Group. Elisabetta and Gloria were already trusted suppliers to the Ferretto Group and after the first few days I knew I would not be disappointed. The quality of the translations provided, the professionalism of the team, and their willingness to take on even the most urgent and complex projects make REM Traduzioni an invaluable partner on which we can rely to develop all our communication projects.

FAQ
Questions about terminology management.
What is a glossary in translation?
A glossary is a list of your key terms with their approved translations, definitions and usage notes. It tells every linguist exactly how each term must be translated.
What is the difference between a glossary and a translation memory?
A glossary controls individual terms, while a translation memory stores whole sentences. Together they keep both your terminology and your wording consistent.
Do I need a glossary if I already have a translation memory?
Yes, if consistency matters. A memory only helps when the same sentence repeats, while a glossary makes sure key terms are right in every new sentence.
Who approves the terms?
Your product or language experts. We research and propose translations, and you confirm them before they are applied.
Can you work with our existing term lists?
Yes. We import existing glossaries and term lists, clean them up and add what is missing.
