©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-Japanese Dictionary of Technical Terms (CJ-TERM), culminating in a comprehensive dictionary database covering about 750,000 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 rapidly growing trade relations between China and Japan, there has been a growing need for Chinese-Japanese technical dictionaries in electronic form. This has prompted us to launch a massive effort to greatly expand our Chinese-Japanese 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-English Dictionary of Technical Terms with millions of terms in some seventy domains.

Domains List

This database covers a wide variety of domains, including computers/IT, mechanical engineering, biotechnology, chemistry, and medicine. The table below shows the current number of entries for each domain.

Data Sample

Below is a sample of CJ-TERM in various domains. Though in the sample below English is shown for reference, our technical term dictionaries are in principle bilingual rather than multilingual.(Multilingual dictionaries are especially difficult to build and maintain, but for certain limited domains we can provide such dictionaries.)
