WIPO PEARL

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) launched a new, multilingual terminology portal called „PEARL“ which gives access to scientific and technical terms derived from patent documents.  It helps promote accurate and consistent use of terms across different languages, and makes it easier to search and share scientific and technical knowledge. One of the key features is that the content of the database is available in ten different languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. If there is no equivalent in the target language in the database, WIPO’s machine translation engine may offer a translation proposal. Moreover, all the content has been validated and given a “reliability score”. Furthermore, the database is integrated with PATENTSCOPE so you can search the entire PATENTSCOPE corpus for terms and their equivalents in other languages. Afterwards, the search users are able to rate the quality of the given results. For further information please click here: http://www.wipo.int/pressroom/en/articles/2014/article_0012.html
