I’ve been focusing on improving my terminology in specialized fields, especially IT and engineering. Recently, I found that using glossaries like IATE has helped me a lot, but I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for other resources or strategies that have worked well for them in mastering specific technical language.
Using IATE is great, but I’d also suggest checking out ProZ’s forums for real-world context on terms. Engaging with fellow translators can help solidify that technical vocabulary too. Mastering the jargon often comes from discussing practical scenarios, not just definitions.
Have you tried using YouTube for technical tutorials? It’s like listening to a podcast but with visuals. I’ve picked up a lot of new terminology just by watching people explain concepts in IT, plus it’s entertaining! Just remember to take notes, or you might end up with a vocabulary as tangled as your headphones.
