A Reproducible Protocol for Constructing a Chinese-English Ceramic Cultural Tourism Lexicon using Registered Corpora.

Building bilingual terminology resources for ceramic cultural tourism is challenging because relevant texts are often fragmented, translation choices are inconsistent, and reusable construction workflows are rarely documented. This protocol presents a reproducible, step-by-step workflow for constructing a Chinese-English ceramic cultural tourism lexicon through corpus registration and cleaning, candidate term extraction, bilingual alignment, and expert validation with adjudication. Applied to a registered bilingual corpus, the workflow generated shortlisted Chinese and English candidate terms, produced ranked bilingual term pairs, and retained validated alignments after independent expert review. The finalized lexicon exported 60 verified entries with bilingual term forms, domain tags, translation types, bilingual definitions, usage examples, provenance records, and interoperable outputs such as Excel and TBX files. To support transparency and rerunability, the protocol also records thresholds, package versions, frozen resources, and validation decisions throughout the workflow. This makes the procedure auditable and easier to adapt to other heritage tourism domains. When transferred to a new domain, users can extend the domain keyword list, update the bilingual mapping resource, and adjust a small number of shortlist and similarity thresholds according to corpus size and terminology density.
