This glossary is one in a series which was produced by the Interpreter-Translator Program at Arctic College, Nunatta Campus. It contains a trilingual list of technical terms with simplified English definitions which we believe will be a useful tool for I/Ts working in specialty areas.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Christine Penney for her assistance to our program and to all the students and staff of the program who contributed to making this publication a reality. Thanks are due to Nootura Borra, Jeannie Iou, Makee Kakkik, Tapea Keenainak, Leesa Mikijuk, Ooloosie Pitseolak, and Marie-Lucie Uvilluk who helped with the terminology development, and to Daniel Cuerrier who provided the French translations. Special thanks are also due to Marja Korhonen for editing the manuscript.
