Keywords:
multilingualism, scientific collaboration, terminology challenges, semantic inconsistency, translation accuracy, intercultural communication, standardizationAbstract
This article investigates the key terminological challenges that arise in multilingual scientific collaboration. It focuses on issues such as semantic inconsistency, lack of standardized equivalents, and cultural differences in scientific conceptualization. The paper also explores how these challenges affect knowledge transfer, translation accuracy, and interdisciplinary communication, offering strategies for improving terminological coherence in global research environments.
