The circle of life is a fascinating concept that applies to every living thing, including terminology. Our company manages terms from birth to retirement, ensuring smooth workflows throughout their lifecycle.

In our use case, you'll discover how copywriters, branding experts, product managers, technical writers, labeling experts, and terminologists collaborate to create, manage, and retire terms effectively. We will explore our processes for the creation, extraction, and translation of terminology into over 40 languages, and how we ensure consistent use across our HQ and 130 global locations.

Additionally, we'll discuss how we handle obsolete terms related to discontinued products, ensuring a seamless transition when it's time to let these terms go.

Takeaways

  • How to effectively handle term creation, usage, and archiving.
  • How to involve colleagues from different departments.
  • Insights into our terminology workflows and translation database.
