TERMIUM Plus^® free on the Web

Until now, TERMIUM Plus^®, one of the largest terminology and linguistic data banks in the world, was available only to employees of the Government of Canada and to subscribers. Those days are over! All Canadians—and all Web surfers, wherever they are—can now consult the Translation Bureau’s flagship product free of charge.

You now have access to TERMIUM Plus^® through the Language Portal of Canada, a new site that gathers together a vast collection of linguistic and terminological references from many Canadian organizations.

More than 30 years of research and development have made TERMIUM Plus^® an outstanding information resource for all who work with languages. The data bank has almost four million terms in English, French and Spanish. Users can find translations for general and technical words and expressions in practically all fields of human endeavour: administration, informatics, environment, medicine, agriculture, industry, sports and the arts. TERMIUM Plus^® records are created by language professionals who keep a close eye on trends in language: that makes it a reliable and useful tool for everyone.

But that isn’t all! The Writing Tools included in TERMIUM Plus^® are available for free, public consultation. Among them, you will find Writing Tips, The Canadian Style and Word Tailoring. Each tool focuses on an aspect of English grammar, usage, punctuation, translation, and so much more.

Happy explorations!
