New edition of the PIARC Road Dictionary – Now featuring Catalan!
Published on 26 March 2025
We are pleased to announce that the PIARC Road Dictionary is now available in Catalan, the official language of the Principality of Andorra, a valued member of PIARC.
Under the moto “Understand and make oneself understood”, the PIARC Committee on Terminology, in collaboration with members of the Andorran National Committee and the General Secretariat, has worked diligently to integrate Catalan into this essential multilingual terminology database.
The PIARC Road Dictionary has a rich history, dating back to 1931. Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive reference tool, bringing together various specialized road and transport dictionaries into a single, multilingual resource. Today, it includes approximately 16,300 terms and expressions across 38 language editions, including English, French, and Spanish.
The Road Dictionary can be accessed online on the PIARC website to search for a specific term and/or start a theme search, and the search results can be displayed simultaneously in the three official languages of PIARC.
Whether you are preparing a report, a presentation or simply looking for the right terminology, this resource ensures precise and effective communication.
We invite you to contribute online to help us upgrade and extend this Dictionary, by submitting your proposals to the Committee on Terminology for further consideration.
