Terminology · Language Quality · AI

One source
of linguistic truth.

I build terminology databases in TshwaneLex from your organisation’s own knowledge — curated and validated by your experts — so your teams have one tool to consult, and your machine translation memories and AI systems have one source to rely on.

Built for complex multilingual environments, including healthcare and regulated content.
