Abstract:

Olympic Winter Games Term Portal V3, specifically created for 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, encompasses all the sports events, including 132,000 entries, among which there are about 7,100 basic terms that are presented in 8 languages. Several hundred curling terms have been recorded therein. The author finds after frequent use of the portal that there is room for improvement as regards the coverage and translation of curling terms. Through collecting various curling glossaries and a wordlist culled from a database of news articles covering curling, the author created a relatively complete glossary of curling terms which are then classified and analyzed from several angles. Then the deficiencies as regards the coverage and translation of such terms are pointed out in the hope that the quality of the portal will be improved and its role in standardization be enhanced.

Key words: Winter Olympic Games, Olympic Games terms, term portal, curling, terminology translation
