<p>A system for converting a first term 1040 in a first language to a second term 1050 in a second language; the terms comprising identifying codes with equivalent meanings that represent goods and/or services (e.g. vehicle parts data in an automotive industry catalogue), the system comprises a mapping system 1000 arranged to: allocate the first term 1040 to a first set of categories associated with the first term 1040; identify a second set of categories that corresponds with the first set of categories; derive the second term 1050, the second term 1050 being associated with the identified second set of categories. In an alternative embodiment a system for categorizing a code relating to goods and/or services comprises categories for categorising the code according to properties of the code, arranged in a hierarchy, the hierarchy having inheritance. In another embodiment a method for translating a term uses a template which comprises a set of translations of the associated term in a plurality of languages, and the template having a type that is associated with at least one of the set of categories.</p> |
