Term Bank

In 1997 the Institute opened a word bank on the Internet. This database now contains 52 special language glossaries, 38 of which are accessible in a single multidisciplinary search. All glossaries contain terms in Icelandic. Beside Icelandic, the most common language represented in the glossaries is English, but many of the glossaries are multilingual. The most frequent additional languages are Danish, German, Norwegian, Swedish and French, respectively.

Another project at the Institute is making native neologisms, language-usage tips, and advice available on the Internet.
