Language Section

References

Welcome to the References web page of the Language Section of the Department of Conferences and Meetings Management (DCMM).  This web page has been designed to provide translators with user-friendly online tools for locating official OAS documents as well as other reference resources that facilitate their work.

The web page is divided into five sections.  Section I consists of links to documents of the Language Section that are essential to the translation process (glossary, style guide, instructions to search for documents). Section II consists of Executive Orders currently in force on the structure of the Organization and normative/regulatory documents of the various organs, agencies, and entities of the Organization, in the languages available at this time.  Section III comprises links to OAS online documents published by the Councils, secretariats, departments, and other OAS entities in their respective available languages.  Section IV contains links to documents covering various thematic areas currently of interest in OAS policy dialogue as well as diverse internet links to terminology of other organizations and institutions and online dictionaries that could be useful to translators.  Finally, Section V contains links to specialized monolingual, bilingual, and multilingual terminology resources. 

Due to the evolving nature of the work of the OAS, this web page will be updated periodically to reflect relevant changes.
