Download IATE and the IATE extraction tool IATExtract
IATE is a living database, i.e. translators and terminologists are continuously updating its content. Using the IATE search interface (http://iate.europa.eu/) thus ensures that you are accessing the most complete and up-to-date data. However, in order to cater for specific needs, e.g. for linguistic research, you can also download a copy of some of the data contained in IATE.
The distribution consists of a zip file with the following name: IATE_download.zip .
An extraction tool named IATExtract is made available on this site in order to help users create subsets of the IATE download file, using a number of possible filtering criteria. Users can extract data for one or more specific languages, for a given domain or domain cluster. The subsets created by the extraction tool IATExtract are provided in the same TermBase
eXchange (TBX) format as the uncompressed IATE download file. For further details see: TBXcoreStructV02.dtd, TBXXCS.xcs, tbxxcsdtd.dtd.
The size of the uncompressed file is about 2.1 gigabytes and the compressed (downloaded) file around 120 megabytes.
For information on the data structure and the data categories included in the download file, please see: IATE Data fields explained
You can download the file by clicking on the link below.
IATE_download.zip (Publication date: 18/08/2017)
There is no need to unzip the IATE download file as the extraction tool IATExtract will access the data in the zip file directly.
Users also need to download the extraction tool IATExtract and copy it into a suitable directory on their computer. The tool IATExtract is distributed as a Java jar file. It can run with a graphical user interface on any operating system supporting the Java runtime of version 1.7 or newer.
