术语政策（上）

在国家、地区、语言社群、地方社群、机构或组织等不同级别上，世界各国的术语规划问题已经凸现出来。实际上，在所有工业或其他方面的标准化和各种协调统一工作中，术语规划有着重要的作用。一项术语政策涉及到一些复杂的因素，特别是其在国家层次上构建和实施的时候更是如此。在战略层面上讲，作为对信息、知识与创新政策以及教育战略的支持，系统化的术语规划特别是术语政策规划的积极意义已经得到充分认识。随着这种认识的不断强化，各国和各个语言社群都意识到，需要制定系统化术语政策，包括制定术语规划策略，以便提升自己竞争力。这种进行术语规划的趋势，与当今加速发展的全球化需要有加速发展的本地化来互补的要求是一致的。本地化就是要进行翻译和调整，以便能符合地方文化和语言规范。

Terminology Policy(1)

Terminology planning has come to the fore in various countries in the world at different levels: national, regional, language community, local community, institutional or organizational level. There are also many terminology planning activities in various professional fields such as chemistry, biology, physics, medicine, and the like. In addition, there is a terminology component to virtually all standardization and harmonization activities, whether in industry or elsewhere. At a strategic level, the positive potential of systematic terminology planning-and especially of terminology policies-in support of information, knowledge or innovation policies, as well as of educational strategies, etc. has been recognized. With this greater awareness, countries and language communities are increasingly feeling the need to formulate systematic terminology policies (comprising also terminology planning strategies) in order to improve their competitiveness. This trend coincides with the requirement that today's accelerated globalization needs to be complemented by accelerated localization, i.e. translation and adaptation to comply with local cultural and linguistic norms.
