InterActive Terminology for Europe (IATE) is the European Union’s flagship terminology database—and very likely the most widely used terminology resource in the world.
It contains over 8.4 million entries across the EU’s 24 official languages. Each record includes the term itself plus optional fields such as reliability (rated 1–5), subject field (often very specific, e.g., “insurance” or “fisheries”), and definition.
The online version is continuously updated at iate.europa.eu.
For convenience, the database can be downloaded in TBX (TermBase eXchange) or CSV format; the CSV file opens in Excel.
