Terminology
Terminology
when localising software it is important to use the correct term consistently. With African languages often these terms are new, not widely used or disputed. This sub-project will create a 2 500 word ICT term list for use in localisation. It will also enhance terminology management software to make it easier to collaboratively produce terminology in any field.

List of 2500 terms selected for the Terminology project
The attached list is the 2500 IT/L10n terms that have been selected for the Terminology project. This is the simple version of the list, showing only the original English terms.
