Client: Federation of Migros Cooperatives, Switzerland’s largest retail company<\/h2>\n
\n

As the largest retail trade company in Switzerland, the Federation of Migros Cooperatives, which consists of several dozen different companies, operates in three languages – German, Italian and French – across all sectors. Therefore, an in-house language service, the Migros Translation Service, manages all translation-related matters. As an external service provider for the Migros Translation Service, our task consisted of transferring the terminology, which had previously only been recorded in various glossaries, into a central, translation-oriented termbase. At the same time, we tested and optimized a new terminology management system and expanded it during its introduction. Since there were no in-house terminologists and two employees are currently undergoing terminology training, our tasks also included technical training and the transfer of terminological expertise.<\/p><\/div>\n

Problem: Heterogeneous structure of Migros and new terminology management system<\/h2>\n
\n

The various individual clients of the Translation Service within the Federation of Migros Cooperatives attach great importance to their own use of language. Therefore, the glossaries previously maintained individually for each client, which contained little information apart from designations, had to be consolidated and cleaned up without disregarding the individual needs of Migros’ individual departments. Additionally, a balance had to be found between detailed, systematic terminology work and translation-oriented terminology work.\nWe also faced challenges with the new system, which is still partly in the development phase and lacks some functions essential for terminology work.<\/p><\/div>\n

Solution: Basic set of rules and mapping of customer requirements in the termbase<\/h2>\n

Based on the glossaries, we initially created a clear set of rules to serve as a basis for processing the legacy data and for future terminology work in the ongoing process. In this, both the linguistic rules and the processes for terminology work are defined clearly. The termbase design we created also allows detailed mapping of client-specific wishes and needs.\nRegarding the system, we created a systematic documentation of the existing and still required functions and forwarded it to the developers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Advantage: Solid foundation for future terminology work in day-to-day business<\/h2>\n

By processing the heterogeneous glossaries of the Migros Translation Service and putting the new system through its paces, we created a solid foundation for its future terminology work. We also uncovered inconsistencies that would have remained undetected without our systematic approach. In addition, a broader awareness of the importance of terminology work for efficient and economical work in general has developed, not only among the translators of the Translation Service, but also throughout the Federation of Migros Cooperatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
