©2005-2010 The CJK Dictionary Institute, Inc.

We are pleased to announce that The CJK Dictionary Institute (CJKI) has recently engaged in a major effort to expand our Chinese-English Dictionary of Technical Terms (CE-TERM), culminating in a comprehensive dictionary database covering about five million entries.

Overview

For several decades, our Institute (CJKI) has been maintaining Chinese, Japanese and English bilingual, bidirectional dictionary databases of over seven million technical terms covering a broad spectrum of fields ranging from computer science to biotechnology. These databases are being used by some of the world's leading IT companies such as Fujitsu, Microsoft, and Casio for a variety of applications and software products, such as:

• Machine translation dictionaries.
• Information retrieval applications for accurate term recognition and indexing.
• NLP tools like morphological analyzers and tokenizers.
• Handheld electronic dictionaries, such as Casio's high-end Exword GT series and Sharp's Brain series.
• In CD-ROM format, as in Logovista's Electronic Dictionary Series.
• Smartphone applications, developed by our institute.
• Input method editors

Because of the dramatic growth of the Chinese economy, there has been a urgent need for Chinese-English technical dictionaries in electronic form. This has prompted us to launch a massive effort to greatly expand our Chinese-English Dictionary of Technical Terms, based on our extensive experience in compiling our Japanese-English Dictionary of Technical Terms over the last decade. In addition, we also maintain a comprehensive Chinese-Japanese Dictionary of Technical Terms.

Domains List

This database covers a wide variety of domains (about 70), including computers/IT, mechanical engineering, biotechnology, chemistry, and medicine. The table below shows the approximate number of entries for each domain (the same Chinese-English term is often identical across domains).
