Linguistic Policy

Linguistic Policy image

Intellectual Property Support for Small Businesses website (Website) was created as an information portal for EU small and medium- sized enterprises that seek to identify their intellectual property rights (IP rights), protect them, and thus succeed in their challenging business journey in the EU and beyond.

This document (Policy) provides an overview of the use of EU languages on the Website and translations of the Website’s content. It also covers the users’ options for displaying the Website and contacting the Intellectual Property Support for Small Businesses team in their preferred language.

 

Translations

All content is published in English and is then progressively translated into the rest of the EU languages in which the website is published. 

We strive to provide translations in all the official EU languages as quickly as possible. Each new language version is published on the Website as soon as it becomes available. 

The Translation Centre for the bodies of the EU provides translations of the Website’s key content, that is to say: 

  • landing page titles and corresponding short descriptions;
  • the Legal Notice section;
  • the Data Protection section;
  • the About us section;
  • questions and answers included in the Discover Guides in the Discover section;
  • tabs and filters. 

The remaining content is translated with the support of machine translation technology, including, among others: 

  • downloadable Discover Guide Reports;
  • the Connect section with the visualisation map;
  • the Training and Tools sections;
  • the Events and News sections;
  • the Articles, Success Stories and How to sections;
  • the Testimonials and Partners sections. 

All reasonable efforts have been made to provide an accurate translation. Please use the English version as a reference text.

Select your preferred language

To select the language in which you want the Website to be displayed, use the drop-down menu at the top right-hand corner.
