| Abstract: |
In this workshop TLex (aka TshwaneLex) is analysed. TLex is a professional, feature-rich, fully internationalised, off-the-shelf software application suite for compiling dictionaries or terminology lists. It has been adopted by many major publishers, government organisations and individuals worldwide.
TLex contains numerous specialized features that allow one to dramatically reduce dictionary production time and costs, and to increase the quality and consistency of one's dictionaries (from single-user projects to large teams). These features include an integrated corpus query system, real-time preview, full customisability, an advanced styles system, smart cross-references with tracking and auto-updating, automated lemma reversal, automated numbering and sorting, export to MS Word and typesetting systems (such as InDesign, Quark and XPP), multi-user support for managing teams, etc. The data can be published to hardcopy, the Web, or CD-ROM / DVD / software.
TLex can be used for all languages, for all types of dictionaries, and supports industry standards such as XML and Unicode. |
