Creation and preparation of a new Estonian terminology database for electronics
Estonian terminology for electronics is in use in both, universities and manufacturing companies. Translation of the texts related to the are provided by the translation agencies and the result is unsteady in its quality. Scientific publications are in English, while the amount of electronics-related modern literature in Estonian is rather small. Creation and preparation of new Estonian terminology are important for electronics-related literature writing, university textbook creation, and for supporting other, science popularization supporting activities. In relation to the fast development in the field of electronics, the terms are often dated. In relation to the fast emergence of large language models also concerning electronics, the terminology requires continuous systemization and renewal. In Thomas Johann Seebeck Institute of Electronics (Tallinn University of Technology), the Estonian terminology has been developed for decades – the goal of the established term committee is to continue this activity purposefully.
