About Termhotel
Hi, I’m Michael Beijer. I’m a Dutch-English technical/patent translator & terminologist (with almost 30 years of experience). This site (a Dutch-English dictionary of sorts) is my hobby project and revolves around one of my great passions: terminology. I’m an avid collector of anything & everything relating to dictionaries, glossaries, termbases, etc. Termhotel.com is where I archive and manage all this data, in an easily searchable form.
Searching
If you’re researching a pesky term, you have several options:
- Consult the many Terms I have researched (see menu item in sidebar)
- Browse the various Categories I use to organise all this data (see menu item in sidebar or sort the Categories column)
- Columns can be sorted! For example, try clicking on the little triangle in the ‘Languages’ column to quickly find all Dutch-English (‘nl, en’) resources.
- Try the search box above! Tip: put your search term "in quotes".

- ↑ ‘BabelNet is an innovative multilingual encyclopedic dictionary, with wide lexicographic and encyclopedic coverage of terms, and a semantic network/ontology which connects concepts and named entities in a very large network of semantic relations, made up of about 20 million entries. Conceived within the Sapienza NLP Group, engineered and maintained by Babelscape, BabelNet follows the WordNet model based on the notion of synset (for synonym set), but extends it to contain multilingual lexicalizations. Each BabelNet synset represents a given meaning and contains all the synonyms which express that meaning in a range of different languages.’ (https://babelnet.org/)
- ↑ What is “CodeZapper”? Latest build: 2.9.4 "CodeZapper" is a powerful, easy to use set of Word VBA macros designed to “clean up” Word files before being imported into a standalone translation environment (DVX, memoQ, SDL Studio, TagEditor, Swordfish, OmegaT, Wordfast Pro, etc.). Word documents are often strewn with “rogue codes” or junk tags (so-called “smart tags”, language tags, track changes tags, spellchecker tags, soft hyphenations, scaling and spacing changes, redundant bookmarks, etc.). This tagged information shows up in the translation grid as spurious codes {1}around{2}, or even in the mid{3}dle of, words, making sentences difficult to read and translate and generally negating many of the productivity benefits of the program. OCR’d files or PDF converted files are even worse and often end up as a “code soup”. CodeZapper attempts to safely remove as many of these unnecessary tags as possible while retaining formatting and layout. It can be run at the press of a button on a single file or all the files in a folder in batch mode. It also contains a number of other useful macros (tidying up PDF converted files, temporarily moving bulky pictures out and back into files to speed up import, etc.). No installation is required as such. The template .dot file can be either copied to Word's startup folder or loaded from the templates and add-ins folder. Please note that CodeZapper will not run natively on a Mac. It requires Word 2003 (for Windows) upwards.

By matching up related patents in different languages, we can obtain parallel text that is useful for training machine translation systems.

- ↑ afreedictionary.com: I recently discovered that someone has managed to put the entire contents of one of the Van Dale Dutch-English dictionaries online. Completely illegal of course but quite useful if you don’t own it (which I do). I have compared it with my local copy and the data seems to be from the Van Dale Groot woordenboek Nederlands-Engels (versie 2.0, 2002).
