Summary/Abstract: After joining the European Union every facet of social, political and scientific life in Latvia had to meet the claims of globalization and had to adjust to them. Terminology was not an exception. Terminologists in the multilingual society of EU had to meet the challenge of creating a common platform for main players in the field of terminology and to represent the abundance of terms encountered in every area of everyday life. Communication and interaction on international level has become a “must”, the changing of messages with other languages is a rather commonplace happening. Nevertheless the messages have to transfer information in such a way that the receiver may interpret it correctly and without mistakes.
