Project Description
There is currently no specialised terminology database, specific to our wine industry that is on a 24/7 basis available to researchers, students, producers and other stakeholders in the local wine industry.
This project will deliver a comprehensive, current and specialist terminology trilingual database (English, Afrikaans and isiXhosa). The Sawis server will host this database. Depending on this server?s uptime and stability, the on-line trilingual terminology database could play a big role in improved communication between stakeholders and encourage knowledge transfer and sharing of research in the South African wine industry.
The lexicographical database is being developed using the software, Trados Multiterm, a specialised lexicographical database. The same application will be used to provide 24/7 access to the trilingual terminology database once it has been established.
