Abstract:
ANDREA BÖLCSKEI, On preparing the Hungarian version of the UNGEGN document
entitled “Glossary of Terms for the Standardization of Geographical Names” //
This paper gives a general overview of the reasons for, and the conditions and methods of
preparing the Hungarian version of the UNGEGN document entitled “Glossary of Terms for the
Standardization of Geographical Names” (including also its “Addendum”). The project, carried out
at Károli Gáspár University in the spring of 2013 with the assistance of students majoring in Ter-
minology, can be considered a continuation of the work, initiated by ERVIN FÖLDI twenty years
ago, to establish and regularly update the Hungarian terminology of geographical names standardi-
zation. The paper discusses relevant methodological problems such as: how to decide whether
terms of Hungarian origin or terms of international background should be adopted in Hungarian;
how to identify or create English–Hungarian term equivalences; how to treat term gaps and term
changes appropriately; how to word the Hungarian definitions; how to select the illustrative exam-
ples; and how to formulate and publish the proofread Hungarian version of the document on terms
of geographical names standardization.
