Abstract:

Under the background of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) going out to the world, the transmission process of TCM has become faster and faster.

An electronic (online) dictionary which can quickly and accurately query TCM vocabulary or terms can provide a convenient tool for TCM translators. This paper focuses on the research and development of TCM Chinese?English electronic dictionaries with hierarchical correspondence technology in order to make contributions to the compilation of TCM electronic dictionary and the development of TCM translation.

Key words: Hierarchical corresponding technique, TCM translation, Chinese-English electronic dictionary
