The Slovenian Armed Forces pay special attention to Slovenian defence and military terminology.
In the past, defence and military terminology was collected in paper dictionaries, and now it is collected in the process of digitalization in a terminological database to allow regular updating. The terms included in the database are mutually agreed upon and published as the online dictionary MOTerm.
MOterm DICTIONARY
MOterm is a multilingual terminology dictionary which covers terms in English, Slovene and French. It includes defence and military professional terminology, deriving from NATOTerm/TermOTAN and other reliable sources.
The MOterm dictionary contains standardized terms from the fields of defence and the military, approved by the Terminology Standardization Commission at the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia. These terms are recommended for use in documents and other forms of communication.
The contents of the terminology database, which forms the basis of the MOterm dictionary, are the result of cooperation between subject-matter experts and linguists from the Slovenian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia.
