This guide is a companion to the English Translation Style Guide for European Union.
For each EU Member State, plus two candidate countries, the guide provides English terms and translations. Most of the individual country sections contain a general introduction and parts on geography, judicial bodies and legal instruments.
The guide shows terms in the original language on the left and suggested English translations on the right.
General guidance on the translation of geographical names, illustrated by specific examples, can also be found in the English Translation Style Guide for European Union.
The translations are based on NUTS — the EU’s Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics. However, the NUTS regions, when referred to as such, are not translated.
