The Life Science Dictionary was developed by our staff members and contributors and is still very much under construction. Currently, most of our 8300+ terms deal with biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, cell biology and genetics. We also have some terms relating to ecology, limnology, pharmacology, toxicology and medicine. Don't expect to find common or exotic animals here; there are far too many species to cover even a fraction in a resource like this. However, we've included medically- and biotechnologically-relevant organisms such as bacteria, worms, fungi, and some plants.

TIS on the Web is a simplified version of the terminological database used by terminologists and translators working in The General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union. TIS lays no claim to be exhaustive. The data it contains are generally the result of research by Council terminologists in response to translation problems encountered by their colleagues. The translations proposed and the accompanying definitions and explanations should be seen, therefore, in the context of the Council's work and are not necessarily of universal application. TIS is like Eurodicautom not being updated after August 2004.

OmegaT is a free translation memory tool written in Java so it runs on Windows, Linux and Mac platforms. If the project is handled by a capable project manager translators can use this tool without any problems. However, in the real world you might have to solve the issues yourself.
