The creation and development of terminology banks, such as the Georgian Terminology Bank, is a tool for language development and a strategic resource that promotes education, research, and international cooperation. Through digital technologies and interdisciplinary cooperation, scientists greatly contribute to preserving language as a living and constantly evolving phenomenon and adapting it to modern science and technology requirements.
