Translation of such resources into multiple languages is an important component for providing multilingual access. However, the specificity of vocabulary terms in most ontologies precludes fully-automated machine translation using general-domain lexical resources. In this paper, we present an efficient process for leveraging human translations when constructing domain-specific lexical resources. We evaluate the effectiveness of this process by producing a probabilistic phrase dictionary and translating a thesaurus of 56,000 concepts used to catalogue a large archive of oral histories. Our experiments demonstrate a cost-effective technique for accurate machine translation of large ontologies.}, doi = {10.3115/1220175.1220294}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3115/1220175.1220294}, author = {Murray,G.
