Bridging the Language Gap in Psychology: Challenges in Developing an English-Romanian Dictionary

The following paper would like to discuss the challenges of compiling an English-Romanian dictionary of psychology terms, from Creative Commons sources with the participation of first and second year Psychology students from West University of Timisoara (WUT). The students selected approximately 1200 concepts in English which they had encountered most often in specialized literature and then proceeded to translate them into Romanian, alongside their definitions. All the terms and translations were proofread by the authors of this paper and verified with the help of clinical psychologists and experts in Open Educational Resources (OER). The result is a specialist bilingual dictionary that can be used by anyone with an interest in psychological jargon.
