I’ve uploaded a Multilingual Lexicon of more than 200 terms used in wind energy to a Google spreadsheet. The lexicon translates English terms into five different languages: Dansk, Deutsch, Español, Français, and Italiano.
This lexicon appeared in my 2004 book Wind Power: Renewable Energy for Home, Farm, and Business. For some reason, the lexicon wasn’t included in my most recent book Wind Energy for the Rest of Us, possibly because the book had grown so unwieldy as it was. For this reason, I am posting it here and putting it in the public domain.
My thanks to all those who contributed to the Lexicon. The staff and trainees at the Folkecenter for Vedvarende Energi, Denmark, especially Reinhard Lönsing, Giuseppe Leonardi, and Felix Varela. And the following: Giacomo Piovano, University of Genoa; Túpac José Canosa Diaz, Universidad de Camagüey, Cuba; Rafael Oliva, Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral, Argentina; Claus Nybroe, Windmission, Denmark; Klaus Kaiser, Germany; Florian Schmidt, Fachhochschule Konstanz, Germany; Bernard Saulnier, Hydro-Québec Research Institute, Canada; Charles Dugué, Cabinet Germa, France; and Charles Rosseel, France.
Some fields are incomplete. If you know the correct term, please let me know and I’ll add it. In this version the table in Italiano is now complete.
