A DGT LATVIAN EXAMPLE

UN-ECE Regulations

Many new terms

Terminology Coordination Unit conducts a survey > 10 concepts

Language departments – Yes/no - Majority

COOPERATION WITH LATVIA

State Language Centre- identifies experts in Ministries (fast and successful)- assists in harmonisation of terminology

Continuing cooperation with experts (e.g. Fish, vehicles)

Video conferences during translation process (longer documents, packages with long deadlines)

Follow-on terminology projects (rare, due to administrative procedures)

IATE – term entered, but with lower reliability for non-validated terms

COOPERATION WITH MEMBER STATES

Visiting Translators' Scheme (VTS)

Cooperation with Ministries and local institutions/agencies/bodies

SOME CONCERNS

MS experts view terms in a local context (e.g. eradication)

New termsOrganic productsBiological productsGerminal products

DGT translates documents for the EU umbrella terms

SOME CONCERNS FOR THE FUTURE

Number of experts diminishing Age, experience and background

International studies and experience, but less local in-depth linguistic knowledge

Language trends Post-Soviet (e.g. “Latvianisation” of terms)

Use of previously published documents

Long document cycles
