Juremy: A Smarter Way To Research EU Terminology
Translating EU terminology usually means searching IATE for translations, then digging through EUR-Lex to see how terms are used — not the most efficient process.
Here’s a better solution: type your query into Juremy and get results from both databases in one place.
In this post, I’ll explain what Juremy is, how it works, and why it’s worth adding to your toolkit – especially if you’re a translator or interpreter working with EU topics.
What is Juremy?
Juremy brings together official terms from IATE (the EU’s terminology database) and real-world examples from EUR-Lex (the EU’s law database) to give you a full picture of EU terminology and how it’s used in context.
Each search returns two sets of results, shown side-by-side in your selected language pair:
IATE entries – official terms plus domain labels and helpful metadata, like reliability ratings and preferred/obsolete tags
EUR-Lex segments – real examples from EU documents, with links to the full text.
You can filter results by domain, source of law, court, date, or document type to find exactly what you need – quicker.
A faster way to search EU terminology
Looking up the right EU legal or technical term takes about three minutes – most of it spent opening multiple legal documents to check context.
That might not seem like a lot, but it adds up fast. Fifty terms – a normal day’s work – means 2.5 hours spent searching.
Juremy cuts that down to seconds. You get official translations and real usage examples – all on one screen.
And if you use Trados Studio or memoQ, you can search Juremy without even switching tools.
That means less time digging, fewer windows to manage, and more confidence in your translation choices.

Tips to work smarter with Juremy
Here are a few advanced tips to make Juremy work harder for you:
Enable Clear on click
If you use InterpretBank or Interpreter’s Help, you’ll recognize this handy feature. Enable it to have Juremy automatically clear your last query when you click the search box.
Pick a domain
Some terms or acronyms (like “SAR”) have multiple meanings. To find the right one – say, “Search and Rescue” in the context of migration – click the wrench icon (Edit Topic Preferences) and filter by domain (e.g., International Relations).
Customize how results appear
Looking to tailor Juremy to how you work? A few quick display tweaks can make a big difference.
Want to see the target language below the source? Pick Target below source.
Prefer to focus just on the sentence with your term? Try Zoom on sentence.
Need a bit more context? Use Peek Around to reveal the sentences before and after.
You’ll find all three under Experimental Features in the Display menu (side panel).
Not sure what something does? Hover for a description – then toggle to see what works best for you.
