Blossary – Multilingual Geodetic Dictionary

Home > Blossary: Multilingual Geodetic Dictionary

The idea of multilingual geodesic glossary arose from the need to achieve easier international scientific and technical collaboration in geodesy. Due to the UNESCO’s support, the idea was turned into a decision and in 1964 Dictionnarie multilingue de la FIG (DMFIG) – geodesic glossary in French, English and German – appeared. This masterpiece was the foundation for the eight-lingual geodesic glossary published in Belgrade in 1980 by the Association of Geodetic Engineers and Surveyors of Yugoslavia. Large number of experts – as individuals or through their institutions – took part in the creation of about 5,500 entries in Serbo-Croat (Croat-Serbian), Slovenian, Macedonian, Albanian, French, English, German and Russian languages.
