About this site

Correct and consistent terminology is critical in translation, which is why I maintain an extensive database of specialist terminology. On this website, I present a selection from my extensive terminology collection in a systematic and easily searchable format. The terminology resources on this site are organised into two main categories: Terms and Glossaries.

Terms

The ‘Terms’ category is relatively self-explanatory. It refers to terms in the standard sense. Term pages contain my own research while translating. I basically use this wiki as a notepad and memory aid, so a lot of the content will be quickly written and potentially far from perfect. If you find anything glaringly incorrect, feel free to drop me a line.

Glossaries

The ‘Glossaries’ category, on the other hand, refers to any kind of terminological resource, whether this be a glossary, termbase, website with terminology, dictionary, term lookup software, etc. Resources in the Glossary category are organised using the following alphabetical index pages:

0-9 · a · b · c · d · e · f · g · h · i · j · k · l · m · n · o · p · q · r · s · t · u · v · w · x · y · z

Search tips

If you’re looking for a particular term, you have several options:

  • Click one of the links above to an alphabetical index page to see the hundreds of glossaries available on this site
  • Consult the many individual terms I have researched
  • Browse the various Categories used to organise the data
  • Have a look through the Tag cloud
  • Try the search box above. Tip: put your search term "in quotes"!
