I’m a novice at Translating and I would like to get some hints on translation tools. Since Eurodicautom doesn’t exist, I’m used to work with “IATE” but it is not that accurate. I’ m wondering about other tools for technical translation issues;

All of the terms in the IATE database are rated in terms of their reliability (i.e., how carefully they have been researched). Terms that are rated 3 or 4 stars (out of 4), are usually reliable. But of course, it's helpful to have technical dictionaries to double-check things.

I'm not aware of any other online technical dictionary that covers as wide a range of topics as IATE, but there are excellent online resources for specific fields (medicine, environment, etc.) Are there specific fields you're looking for?

It is not free Jan 15, 2008

You can try Termium at http://www.termiumplus.gc.ca/site/accueil_home_s.html

Also there is MedTrad.

I use IATE, but I agree that it is good practice to double check with a dictionary or parallel texts.

Cheers,

Diana
