File Description [top]

World Translations Index (WTI) is the unique source for existing translations of literature relating to all fields of science and technology. The database is the machine-readable version of the print publication World Translations Index. WTI contains bibliographic references to both the original and translated documents, reflecting the translation announcements collected by the International Translations Centre (ITC) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique (CNRS/INIST).

Translations cited are in Western languages and from any language source. More than half of the English translations are for documents originally published in Russian; another 30% are from Japanese and German originals.

Translations cited in WTI may be obtained in several ways. Many are published in translation journals, and may be obtained wherever the journals are held. Citations to translations not published in translation journals include availability information, indicating the translating organization from which the translation may be obtained. Following the closure of the National Translations Center (NTC) at the Library of Congress, Washington, translations with the acronym NTC are available as follows:
