Re: Searching for Water and Sanitation Sector Translation guides- in multiple languages
Thank you Cor and Gian.
These are definitely useful! I do not have a document that I am working on currently, but in the past struggled with finding the correct phrase or title translation for French.
So I thought to ask if there is such a glossary that I and others in the sector could refer to.
Thank you,
/Eva

Hi Eva,
At IRC we have a historical collection of 30-40-year-old multilingual WASH glossaries, mostly focusing on technology. There are a few from the World Bank/UNICEF you may still find useful - you can find a couple of them in this list - www.ircwash.org/biblio?f%5Bkeyword%5D=410 - click on the titles to get to the PDFs. You could also check with UNICEF or the World Bank if they have newer glossaries.

Hello Eva,
The Agenda for Change website has a section called "WASH systems glossary", where you can find a list of WASH terms and definitions. You can use the icons on the top-right corner of the screen to select the language. See washagendaforchange.org/glossary/.
You may also look at WASH publications available in English and e.g. in French, to see how specific terms and expressions translate into different languages. For a sanitation focus, see: sanitationlearninghub.org/current-thinking/slh-publications/.
Hope it helps,
Gian M.

Searching for Water and Sanitation Sector Translation guides- in multiple languages
Hello All,
I was looking for a list of commonly used words in the WASH sector translated into other languages like Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin etc.
Do any of you know if such a catalogue or work exists?
I was able to find here on SuSanA the "Water Translations Guide" English to Spanish.
Looking for similar works in other languages and may with a more focus on Sanitation.
Thank you for your valuable suggestions and help!
Cheers,
Eva
