Terminology for external translators

TermCoord is cooperating closely with the External Translation Unit (DG TRAD) of the European Parliament to make available to the contractors all resources provided to the translators of the Language Units.

Termbases

TermCoord provides targeted termbases (thematic and with defined terms) for important procedures and packages. The messages informing about the availability of such termbases appear on the FdRs.

IATE (InterActive Terminology for Europe) pools the terminology resources of the EU institutions and bodies to form the world’s most extensive terminology database. It contains close to 9 million terms in all the EU official languages and covers all areas of EU policy. It is constantly expanded and updated by EU terminologists and translators.
