Translation Term Base
What is the Translation Term Base?
The Term Base is the official Seattle Department of Transportation translations of frequently used terms and names (such as right-of-way, Seattle Streets Illustrated). We have established translations in the following languages:
- Amharic
- Traditional Chinese
- Simplified Chinese
- Filipino/Tagalog
- Khmer
- Korean
- Laotian
- Oromo
- Russian
- Somali
- Spanish
- Tigrinya
- Vietnamese
We have developed our Term Base to ensure consistency in the translations that we produce and as a tool for other City departments, community based organizations, and partner agencies to use when referring to our projects or programs. As a living document, we will continue to add more terms and additional languages. Our term base is should be used as a supplement to the City of Seattle's official term base.
