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.
