The Derwent World Patents Index� (DWPISM) collects patents from 50 countries in 30 languages � not all of them using the Roman alphabet � and creates from them high quality English abstracts, classifications and indexes.  This talk will outline how we deal with them, including our human, and human assisted translations by language and technical experts; how we organize the information into fielded abstracts using clear editorial guidelines to provide consistent records; and how we correct errors in the information sent to us from the patent offices for use in DWPI.
