consistency
Quality of a text in which the same object or the same concept is always
expressed by the same term (terminological consistency), or where the
same action or idea is always expressed by exactly the same phrase or
group of phrases (phraseological consistency).
In technical texts, a single item or operation is frequently mentioned
on several occasions. Here, a phraseological dictionary can be added to
the dictionary of terms, since both make it possible to apply various
automatic processes that reduce production and translation costs.
Moreover, and generally speaking, a respect for consistency simplifies
the comprehension of the text and makes it possible to avoid many cases
of ambiguity.
