Extension summary

Discover a more efficient way to search and translate documents within the EUR-Lex database using our EUR-Lex Bilingual Search Assistant! This powerful Chrome extension streamlines your research process by performing bilingual searches and providing aligned results, so you can focus on what truly matters - understanding the content.

Key Features:

Bilingual Search: Choose your source and target languages, enter your search term, and hit Enter. Our extension will fetch and display relevant documents from the EUR-Lex database in both languages, side by side and aligned at segment level.

Comprehensive Language Support: The EUR-Lex Bilingual Search Assistant caters to all European Union languages, enabling users to perform bilingual searches and translations across the diverse linguistic landscape of the EU with ease and accuracy.

Smart Alignment: Unlike the traditional EUR-Lex page, our extension automatically aligns the segments of each document, showing only the most relevant parts. This way, you can quickly consult and compare the content.

Statistical Translation: Our extension calculates translation probabilities statistically, offering you a more accurate and reliable understanding of the documents.

Glossary Extraction: Effortlessly create bilingual glossaries using the built-in extraction feature. The extension automatically identifies key terms, creates and aligns indexes for source and target languages, and generates a customizable bilingual glossary that you will be able to export to .CSV format for easy import into your favourite CAT tool.

Export Options: Save your work easily by exporting the segments in .TMX format or creating bilingual glossaries in .CSV format. These files can then be imported into memoQ or other translation tools.
