To provide users with more up-to-date terminology, Microsoft has replaced the glossary content that was previously posted to the Microsoft ftp site with a more concise document that is easier to use. We have consolidated and moved the data from the ftp site to the Microsoft download center in an effort to significantly increase reliability and accessibility for users.
This CSV file contains over 12,000 English terms plus the translations of the terms for up to 59 different languages. Microsoft provides the Microsoft terminology data to allow our customers, ISVs, and partners to have a more consistent user experience across the products they are using and developing.
