Topic: A good, easy, free tool for a smallish glossary for long novel?
Poster: Anne Woodall
Hello Everyone,
Over the past year I've been translating a long novel that's been a real labor of love (don't worry, also getting paid for it) as I have another full-time job. It's the first time I've ever translated something of this length (+400 pgs) and as I reach the end I realize how much I need a glossary to maintain consistency, something that can be easily consulted by the author who I will be working closely with on the editing/revising process. For the moment some of the place and character names, appellations, terms, which expressions to leave in source language, etc etc are still up for discussion.
I have not used any CAT tools before though I have some familiarity with how they work. So my question: is there any free or free trial software that can help me compile and apply a glossary, that doesn't take a long time to learn how to use? Otherwise I foresee a very painstaking manual process...but before I get started with that I just wanted to look into any easy tools that may be available.
Thanks!
