NetGlos was a collaborative project launched in 1995 (official launch? source might be inaccurate, as there is a reference to the glossary in 1992) by the WorldWide Language Institute (WWLI). Short for "Multilingual Glossary of Internet Terminology," NetGlos aimed to compile a comprehensive glossary of internet-related terms in multiple languages.[1][2]
The project involved translators and language professionals worldwide. In February of 1992, the glossary featured terms in English, German, Spanish, French, and Greek[3], and by September 1998, NetGlos had expanded to include 13 languages, including Chinese, Croatian, Dutch/Flemish, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Maori, Norwegian, and Portuguese.
It addressed the challenge of translating technical internet terms and played a vital role in making internet terminology accessible across different languages. The project's director, Brian King, emphasized the importance of ongoing collaboration and the dynamic nature of web terminology.
