But how do you do that if the terms aren't established in your language? In this session we will look at how to coin new terms, how to choose between conflicting terms, and how to build up vocabularies to help you translate and localize. No previous experience will be needed.\n\n### Agenda\nFlash cards outlining some of the basic principles applicable accross languages will be prepared before hand and participants will be able to pick ones most relevant to them. Depending on the linguistic mix of the group, people will be encouraged to work either alone, in partnership of the same language, or across languages, to start building a small vocabulary, seeded from a subset of relevant terms in English. A laptop would be useful for participants, but the exercise can also be done with pen and paper.\n\n\n### Participants\nStarting with a general discussion, the session will then be split into smaller groups with possibilities for working alone. At least two additional facilitators will be on hand to help if the number of participants is large.\n\n\n\n### Outcome\nLocalizers and those dealing with multilingual software will be more comfortable in dealing with new and unfamiliar terminology and will be equiped to develop new terms when the need arises. In general they will have a better appreciation of the challenges involved in working multilingually and will be able to think of solutions to localization problems.\n\n"}}
