Most of the termbases offered below are derived from isolated student projects that were not part of the major projects described elsewhere on this site. Download and use are free of charge but please mention your source if you decide to pass on the material to others. Disclaimer: the original authors and the CvT cannot be held responsible for errors or other shortcomings.

The material is available in a number of formats:

  • Multiterm: sdltb-format for use in SDL Multiterm Desktop and/or for term recognition in SDL Trados Studio. Unzip before use.
  • TBX: can (in principle) be imported into a TBX-compatible termbase management program. Based on a TBX export from the Multiterm version with minor edits. Please note that the GenTerm records also contain nonstandard data categories that may not be recognised within your program. Versions compatible with TBX v3 and using a mapping to standard categories may become available at a later stage. TBX-files can also be read in the online TBX Viewer.
  • PDF: the pdf versions are based on an RTF-export from the sdltb-versions with subsequent edits.
  • ibex: for use in Interpretbank, a termbase management program for interpreters.

    Interpreter's Glossary - Medical

    Source: Master's diss. by Mercedes D'Hoker, 2014.
    Topic and languages: medical (diseases, symptoms); English and Dutch.
    Number of concepts: 25
    Comments: The purpose of this project was to speculate what terminological information an interpreter needed when interpreting an English-speaking doctor's interview with a Dutch-speaking child and his/her parents. The concepts were first analysed in slightly abridged GenTerm records. Afterwards, a Word-table was compiled with information deemed relevant in an interpreting context. The ibex-version below is inspired by that Word table.

    IATE's COVID terminology

    Source: IATE's original list of terms related to COVID and SARS, as also made available on data.europe.eu; and an English-Dutch export of the same data. Current update: 5 May 2021.
    Topic and languages: COVID-19-related terminology. A first excel file lists English terms as the source, and live links to the corresponding multilingual IATE entries as the target. A second excel file is an English and Dutch list with those items that already had Dutch equivalents at the time of processing. The Multiterm file is a conversion of the latter.
    Number of concepts: Excel file with English terms: 1821 terms, including LookUp Forms and obsolete terms. EN-NL files (Excel and Multiterm): 466 entries (i.e. only those entries that also contained Dutch at the time of processing).
    Comments: Caution: the EN-NL files mention all the available synonyms even when they are deprecated/obsolete terms or LookUp Forms. When using the Multiterm file in Trados Studio, use in conjunction with the IATE Terminology Provider / IATE Real-time Terminology app to establish the preferred term when in doubt.
