EcoLexiCAT is a web-based tool for the terminology-enhanced translation of specialized environmental texts for the language combination English-Spanish-English. It uses the open source version of the web-based CAT tool MateCat and enriches a source text with information from: (1) EcoLexicon, a multimodal and multilingual terminological knowledge base on the environment (Faber et al., 2014; Faber et al., 2016); (2) BabelNet, an automatically constructed multilingual encyclopedic dictionary and semantic network (Navigli & Ponzetto, 2012); (3) Sketch Engine, the well-known corpus query system (Kilgarriff et al., 2004); (4) IATE, the multilingual glossary of the European Commission; and (4) other external resources (i.e. Wikipedia, Collins, Wordreference, Linguee, etc.) that can also be customized by the user. The tool was built with the aim of integrating terminology management – often considered complex and time-consuming – in the translation workflow of a CAT tool. In this paper, EcoLexiCAT is described along the procedure with which it was evaluated and the results of the evaluation.
