Measuring Terminology Consistency in Translated Corpora: Implementation of the Herfindahl-Hirshman Index

Abstract: Consistent terminology can positively influence communication, information transfer, and proper understanding. In multilingual written communication processes, challenges are augmented due to translation variants. The main aim of this study was to implement the Herfindahl-Hirshman Index (HHI) for the assessment of translated terminology in parallel corpora for the evaluation of translated terminology. This research was conducted on three types of legal domain subcorpora, dating from different periods: the Croa… Show more

“…At the same time, Seljan et al [28] performed manual adequacy and fluency analysis on the machine translation results of poetry under the same data set, which proved the effectiveness of applying machine translation to Croatian-German pairs in the field of poetry. Gašpar et al [29] proposed a method to test the quality of language texts for terms. When the consistency of terms in the corpus is high, a high HHI score will be obtained.…”

“…In order to accomplish this, were looked at keywords of articles that addressed the DESI index theme and investigated the correlations among them using the free bibliometric program VOSviewer 1.6.17 [22], as Vida, Kovács, Nagy, Madai and Bittner [23] also used similar analyses to investigate a topic in her research. Another work of consistent terminology is presented in Gašpar, Seljan and Kučiš [24], where Herfindahl-Hirshman Index is used to evaluate terminology diversity. Scholarly journal articles and conference proceedings were analysed between 2014 to 2022 that had the terms integration of digital technology and business digitalisation.…”

“…GaiusT did not include the concept of power, as it was intended for legal documents in general, and does require significant improvements in recall. Another approach focuses on the communication difficulties arising from the translation of contracts into different languages [24]. Consistency in use in contract terms is evaluated using the Herfindahl-Hirshman Index (HHI), a common measure for market concentration.…”
