Hello!
I'm working to a japanese-italian translation using a CAT tool for a personal project. Instead of creating a terminology database/glossary by myself, is it possible to download an already existing glossary from the internet? I'm searching for a general glossary and/or a legal one.
Thank you.

3) Also it makes sense to create your glossary extracting the terms before translation (e.g. via a free PlusTools) or while translating.

4) If you've got the original and translated papers, you could align them (PlusTool again) both as glossaries or translation memo... See more

5) Checking specialized dictionaries and dedicated online sources also works, when used wisely.
