Terminology is used all through the process of specialized translation. Indeed, many translators confirm that an error on terminology has a major impact on their work. Thus, a revision phase is necessary to validate the initial translation proposed by the translator. This paper deals with the assisted terminological revision in specialized translation from English to French. We propose a new generation of bilingual con-cordancers that takes as input a term and its translation, and provides not parallel but aligned Knowledge-Rich Contexts from specialized comparable corpora. Both the manual evaluation and a real experiment with student revisers show that our concordancer actually assists revisers despite the difficulty of the task.
