The Committee for Hebrew Technical Nomenclature

The Technion established a committee for Hebrew technical nomenclature which quickly produced lists of all the main words used in construction and paving. For many years, the Technion hosted the Bureau for Technological Terminology, which published 90 multilingual dictionaries for science and technology and manages a database of over 955,555 Hebrew terms in fields such as chemistry, physics and computers. The influence of the Language War went beyond the borders of the Technion, in that its results were a lever for the use of the Hebrew language in the cultural life of the settlement.
