Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a multilingual lexicographical resource aimed at doctors and medical translators. Due to the fact that these two groups have different needs, current resources are unable to satisfy both equally. Our premise is that it would be possible to design a single adjustable, adaptable and flexible tool which could address their different expectations, needs and preferences. The development of this tool is underpinned by empirical user analysis through an online trilingual survey.
