Abstract: Special language translators need tailor-made subject field-related information in their daily work. Yet there is a gap between their needs and the subject field-related resources available to them. In my doctoral thesis project, the central research question is whether special language translation can be made more efficient by means of an ideal translation-oriented special language dictionary. To answer this question, first a couple of postulates are put forward. On this basis, a model is built which will later be verified/falsified in an empirical test using "ProTerm", a software for terminology work and text analysis. This will show whether the implemented model can satisfy the needs of special language translators. In the present paper, I aim to give an overview of the research work done so far. In particular, I will provide a summary of 15 postulates derived from scholarly literature and my own professional experience in special language translation and terminology work. Then, I will outline a model that serves as an interface between the specific requirements expressed in the 15 postulates and the implementation using "ProTerm" (bottom-up/top-down approach). Finally, I will briefly describe the next steps in my doctoral thesis project.
