Trilingual terminological repertory (Spanish, Greek, English) for SMEs in the metal technologies

Objective

OBJECTIVES
With the creation of the European market, transnational communication is becoming a matter of paramount importance. For SME owners in the metallurgy sector, the ability to speak English is necessary to enable them to expand their commercial contacts with suppliers and customers. But in Greece and Spain, there are still major gaps in people's ability to speak English. That is why the project would like to give enterprise owners in this sector a tool to enable them to maintain satisfactory relations, while at the same time relying mainly on their own mother tongue.

ACTIVITIES
To do this, the project partners propose, initially, to define user needs in terms of language skills. The partners from three countries (Greece, Spain and the UK) will identify key words used most often in this sector. Based on this glossary, three databases will be created. By pooling these three databases, a trilingual database can be drawn up, including the standardisation of all the terms likely to be used in the metallurgy sector. This database can be used as an instrument of continuing vocational training.

PRODUCTS
- Three monolingual databases making it possible to identify the terms most commonly used in the metallurgy sector.
- A trilingual database to facilitate transnational communication among the various SMEs in this sector.
