Abstract: An improved solution for extracting and identifying key terms in content is provided. In the solution, one or more documents can be obtained and one or more candidate terms can be obtained from the content of each document. Subsequently, one or more exclusion conditions can be used to filter the candidate terms thereby generating a set of key terms. In particular, all common terms and/or all near duplicate candidate terms can be excluded from the set of key terms. The set of key terms can be used in translating the content, generating a glossary/index for the content, detecting and/or correcting incorrect terms and usages of terms in the content, building a terminology repository, and/or the like. In one embodiment, the key term extraction is performed to facilitate the translation of product documentation into a second language in order to release the product in one or more nations.
