תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.24784v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Specialised translation relies on the use of documentary and terminological resources, including corpora. These resources are particularly useful for terminology. However, their compilation and exploitation have several limitations: they require time, technical skills and access to data that can be difficult to collect.
