The Web’s the limit with IntelliWebSearch (Almost) Unlimited
Wordfast User Conference in Nice, France, on 28-30 April 2016
The presentation is divided into two parts. The first takes a look at IntelliWebSearch’s basic features to see how it can be used to speed up and simplify terminology searches on the Internet: direct search shortcut keys, the return shortcut key, GroupSearch, Ad Hoc Plurisearch and setting up new search parameters using the IntelliWebSearch Wizard. The second consists of a live demo of the tool’s main features .
Without a time-saving tool, checking terms entails copying words to your Windows clipboard repeatedly, opening your browser, opening the most appropriate online resources, pasting terms into search boxes, setting search parameters, clicking search buttons, analysing results, copying the best solutions back to the clipboard, and then returning to your working environment and pasting in the results. This session examines some typical search problems translators face, looks at how they can be solved with a touch of “search engine theory,” and explains how IntelliWebSearch can be used to save settings and perform searches literally at the press of a keyboard shortcut.
Michael Farrell, IntelliWebSearch’s creator, presented the latest version of his terminology research tool in English in the Kaminsaal.
Engaging copy translated literally into English, without taking account of differences in linguistic, semantic and cultural expressions, at best leaves much to be desired and at worst provokes hysterical laughter.
Thanks to my scientific background, I specialize in technical translations. Over the years I have acquired experience in transcreating advertising copy and press releases primarily for the promotion of technology products.
All clients of mine who have sent me urgent requests are satisfied with my response.
