Puppet Masters
I came across a great resource packed with information about corporate and financial structures – The Puppet Masters – a report published by the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (StAR), which is a partnership formed by the World Bank and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to help end safe havens for proceeds of corruption and to facilitate more systematic and timely return of stolen assets.
Glossary of watchmaking
From time to time one comes into contact with the highly technical world of watches. The Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, Switzerland, makes available what seems to be an authoritative and detailed glossary of watchmaking terms.
Glossary for greenhouse gas inventories
I happened upon these glossaries the other day, as you do, whilst working on a translation project, and thought they might be worth sharing with you.
They were issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
Glossary of Canadian federal statutes (EN/FR)
I recently happened upon an English-French / French-English glossary of Canadian federal statutes.
Banking glossary from Luxembourg
The Institut de Formation Bancaire in Luxembourg makes available on its website a bilingual glossary of banking terms in French and English.
Bilingual legal glossary – Cameroon
Below is a press release I came across that may be of interest. If anyone manages to obtain the glossary and would like to send in a review, it would be great!
Fantastic French notarial glossary
I just had to share with you a great resource that I found recently. It is published by a firm of notaries that has its offices in Place Vendôme (for those that are unfamiliar with the address, it also houses some of the finest jewelers in Paris and is arguably one of its most beautiful squares…).
Great basic patents glossary (in English)… and more
Earlier this week, the BBC published this glossary in English: Patents: A beginner’s guide to intellectual property. The article was written with help from Jonathan Radcliffe, an intellectual property lawyer at Mayer Brown, and Professor Andrea Matwyshyn from Wharton School’s Legal Studies and Business Ethics department at the University of Pennsylvania.
