La traducción asistida por ordenador en el ámbito biosanitario: creación de una base de datos terminológica sobre retina y vítreo

Despite the increase in machine translation (MT) in the field of biomedicine, the relevance of computer-assisted translation (CAT) software remains significant, even when MT APIs are used within these tools to pre-translate files. This can be explained by the fact that the use of this software involves a greater degree of human-machine collaboration and, consequently, it entails a more accurate treatment of the terminology of this specific field. This paper describes the development of a terminology database (English-Spanish) for CAT on the ophthalmological subspecialty of retina and vitreous. This database contains 50 bilingual entries belonging to different domains: anatomy, diagnosis, diseases, procedures, signs and symptoms. The relevance of this resource as a specialised documentary source lies in its ability to ensure terminological consistency.
