Sketch Engine is a corpus management and corpus query tool specifically designed
for speedy processing of large multi-billion word corpora. Sketch Engine holds about
150 TB of data in 80 languages and is used by translators, terminologists,
lexicographers and linguists to learn about language as produced by real users.
Many Sketch Engine features are successfully used by translators and terminologists
around the world and are ready to be included in CAT tools. The Sketch Engine’s
natural language processing know-how and the vast amount of language data on one
side and a state-of-the-art CAT software on the other will inevitably help the software
developers gain competitive advantage over their competitors.

Terminology extraction
A trial and tested algorithm for terminology extraction delivers an incredible quality
even without a list of stop words. The user can decide to what extent high frequency
and therefore less specialized words should be included in the result.

Term base lemmatisation
Especially with morphologically rich languages, lemmatisation of term bases
increases the chances of a term being correctly identified which will result in both
reduced translation time as well as better scores of QA.
Compatible languages Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, Estonian,
Finnish, French, German, Greek, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian,
Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish
Language detection
Sketch Engine is able to significantly improve the accuracy of language detection
when uploading or opening a new document into your CAT tool.

Multi-language document detection
Sketch Engine is able to analyse a document for sections written in different
languages as well as identify those languages so that the right sections can be
assigned to the right translators avoiding re-assignment at a later time.
Compatible languages over 200 most frequent languages
Document alignment
Sketch Engine features alignment algorithm which can align previous and current
version of the same document at sentence level even if new passages have been
added or deleted or sentences have been amended.
Compatible languages all languages (language independent feature)
Terminology checking
The terminology checking feature will check whether the same term exists in the
source and target even if the word form differs from the one in the term base.

Concordance
Generating a concordance from TM only will often result in only a few examples.
Using Sketch Engine’s mutli-billion corpora, a translator can view hundreds or
thousands of examples. A time-saving Word Sketch feature will even process those
examples and will display a summarising table showing the word’s behaviour.
Compatible languages all 80+ languages in Sketch Engine, the quality of results
improves with the size of the corpus, languages with a corpus bigger than 50 million
words: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Basque, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese Simplified,
Chinese Traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish,
French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh,
Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese,
Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tajik, Thai, Turkish,
Ukrainian, Vietnamese
Writing suggestions
Sketch Engine can provide writing suggestions based on context when the translator
is lost for words or when a suitable collocation is difficult to think of.
