CHALLENGES OF STANDARDIZING IT TERMINOLOGY IN MULTILINGUAL SOCIETIES
The article also addresses the ongoing tension between localization, which prioritizes linguistic identity, and globalization, which promotes international comprehensibility. Finally, it proposes practical strategies, including forming central standardization bodies, creating multilingual glossaries, and encouraging collaboration among key stakeholders. Addressing these challenges can help multilingual societies develop a cohesive and inclusive IT lexicon that accommodates both local and global communication needs.
