IATE has been used in the EU institutions and agencies since summer 2004 for the collection, dissemination and shared management of EU-specific terminology. The project partners are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>European Commission<\/li>\n<li>European Parliament<\/li>\n<li>Council of Ministers<\/li>\n<li>Court of Justice<\/li>\n<li>Court of Auditors<\/li>\n<li>Economic &amp; Social Committee<\/li>\n<li>Committee of the Regions<\/li>\n<li>European Central Bank<\/li>\n<li>European Investment Bank <\/li>\n<li>Translation Centre for the Bodies of the EU<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The project was launched in 1999 with the objective of providing a web-based infrastructure for all EU terminology resources, enhancing the availability and standardisation of the information.<\/p>\n<p>IATE incorporates all of the existing terminology databases of the EU&#8217;s translation services into a single new, highly interactive and accessible inter-institutional database. Legacy databases from EU institutions have been imported into IATE, which now contains some 1.4 million multilingual entries.<\/p>\n<p>The IATE website is administered by the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union in Luxembourg on behalf of the project partners.<\/p>\n<h4>Download the database<\/h4>\n<p>Having been produced at public expense, the entire database has been opened up to the public can be <a href=\"http:\/\/iate.europa.eu\/tbxPageDownload.do\">downloaded<\/a>, all 1.4 million entries!<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday, IATE!
