Microsoft releases updated terminology translation glossary

To provide users with more up-to-date terminology, Microsoft has replaced the content that was previously posted to the ftp site with a more concise document that is easier to use.

This new CSV file contains over 14,000 English terms plus the translations of the terms for up to 45 different languages. Microsoft provides the Microsoft terminology data to allow their customers, ISVs, and partners to have a more consistent user experience across the products they are using and developing.
