Terminology

Translation and standardization of technical and scientific terminology is a primary requirement in the translation of knowledge texts. So far, there is no uniformity in the use of terminology in Indian languages. Some languages like Tamil, Bangla have more than one source of technical terminology whereas some other languages do not have a glossary at all. NTM works towards the standardisation of Technical Terminology in Indian languages in collaboration with Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology (CSTT). The efforts of National Translation Mission will strengthen the Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology (CSTT) to evolve and define scientific and technical terms in 22 scheduled languages so as to enable quick and good translation of knowledge texts.
