About IATE

IATE (= “Inter-Active Terminology for Europe”) is the EU inter-institutional terminology database. IATE has been used in the EU institutions and agencies since summer 2004 for the collection, dissemination and shared management of EU-specific terminology. The project partners are:

§ European Commission

§ Parliament

§ Council

§ Court of Justice

§ Court of Auditors

§ Economic & Social Committee

§ Committee of the Regions

§ European Central Bank

§ European Investment Bank

§ Translation Centre for the Bodies of the EU

The project was launched in 1999 with the objective of providing a web-based infrastructure for all EU terminology resources, enhancing the availability and standardisation of the information.

IATE incorporates all of the existing terminology databases of the EU’s translation services into a single new, highly interactive and accessible interinstitutional database. The following legacy databases have been imported into IATE, which now contains approximately 1.4 million multilingual entries:

§ Eurodicautom (Commission),

§ TIS (Council),

§ Euterpe (EP),

§ Euroterms (Translation Centre),

§ CDCTERM (Court of Auditors),
