The purpose of this document is to provide a multilanguage database with the terms given by ISO 12100 :2010 (+ Definitions linked to those 57 terms)
The database is composed of the 57 terms defined by ISO 12100 in English, French and German, and the translation of these terms into 30 different languages, namely : Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Persian (or Farsi), Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. Free columns are provided for Albanian and Macedonian. Any other language is of course welcome in the database. ISO 639-1:2002 is used for the identification of the languages.
Each national member body is invited to verify the corresponding cells in the following table, to correct them if necessary or insert the translation if available. If not validated by the national member bodies, translations will be identified as non official. A further column has been added to give a link to the corresponding definition provided by the ISO Concept Database (“ISO CDB link”).
