About Beijerterm

Hi, I’m Michael Beijer. I’m a Dutch  English technical/patent translator and terminologist with almost 30 years of experience.

Correct and consistent terminology is critical in technical translation. I therefore maintain an extensive database of specialist terminology, which I present on this MediaWiki-powered website in a systematic and easily searchable format. Beijerterm is one of the largest collections of specialist Dutch-English terminology in the world!

Searching tips

If you’re struggling with a pesky term, there is a very good chance you will find it on this site. You have several options:

  • Consult the many terms I have researched
  • Browse the various Categories I use to organise all this data
  • Sortable table columns! Click the triangle in the ‘Languages’ column to find all Dutch/English resources (‘nl, en’)
  • Have a look through the Tag cloud
  • Try the search box above! Tip: put your search term "in quotes"

  2. BabelNet is an innovative multilingual encyclopedic dictionary, with wide lexicographic and encyclopedic coverage of terms, and a semantic network/ontology which connects concepts and named entities in a very large network of semantic relations, made up of about 20 million entries. Conceived within the Sapienza NLP Group, engineered and maintained by Babelscape, BabelNet follows the WordNet model based on the notion of synset (for synonym set), but extends it to contain multilingual lexicalizations. Each BabelNet synset represents a given meaning and contains all the synonyms which express that meaning in a range of different languages.’ (https://babelnet.org/)
  3. What is “CodeZapper”? Latest build: 2.9.4 "CodeZapper" is a powerful, easy to use set of Word VBA macros designed to “clean up” Word files before being imported into a standalone translation environment (DVX, memoQ, SDL Studio, TagEditor, Swordfish, OmegaT, Wordfast Pro, etc.). Word documents are often strewn with “rogue codes” or junk tags (so-called “smart tags”, language tags, track changes tags, spellchecker tags, soft hyphenations, scaling and spacing changes, redundant bookmarks, etc.). This tagged information shows up in the translation grid as spurious codes {1}around{2}, or even in the mid{3}dle of, words, making sentences difficult to read and translate and generally negating many of the productivity benefits of the program. OCR’d files or PDF converted files are even worse and often end up as a “code soup”. CodeZapper attempts to safely remove as many of these unnecessary tags as possible while retaining formatting and layout. It can be run at the press of a button on a single file or all the files in a folder in batch mode. It also contains a number of other useful macros (tidying up PDF converted files, temporarily moving bulky pictures out and back into files to speed up import, etc.). No installation is required as such. The template .dot file can be either copied to Word's startup folder or loaded from the templates and add-ins folder. Please note that CodeZapper will not run natively on a Mac. It requires Word 2003 (for Windows) upwards.

  5. EuroPat: ‘Patents as parallel corpora We have processed patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Office and from the European Patent Organisation. By matching up related patents in different languages, we can obtain parallel text that is useful for training machine translation systems. Data is available to download as matched sentences from pairs of languages.’

  7. afreedictionary.com: I recently discovered that someone has managed to put the entire contents of one of the Van Dale Dutch-English dictionaries online. Completely illegal of course but quite useful if you don’t own it (which I do). I have compared it with my local copy and the data seems to be from the Van Dale Groot woordenboek Nederlands-Engels (versie 2.0, 2002).
  8. glosario is an open source glossary of terms used in data science that is available online and also as a library in both R and Python. By adding glossary keys to a lesson’s metadata, authors can indicate what the lesson teaches, what learners ought to know before they start, and where they can go to find that knowledge. Authors can also use the library’s functions to insert consistent hyperlinks for terms and definitions in their lessons in any of several languages.
  9. UPDATE: It seems all the data is still online, e.g. at Microsoft language resources, available via:
  10. (Neder)brackets: The Dutch have a particular way of (ab)using brackets. I try to make sense of some of the worst offenders in my ‘(Neder)brackets’ collection. Incidentally, the best explanation of this issue I have ever come across is in the chapter, ‘Bracket (ab)use’, in ‘Righting English that’s gone Dutch’, by Joy Burrough-Boenisch.
  11. TechDico: ‘The translation tool TechDico gives you access to the most valuable translation resources available: • IATE (european terminology), • Eur-Lex-Europa.eu (european law texts), • WIPO (international patents), • CJKI (Asian languages glossaries) and to multilingual specialized dictionaries.’
