THWS Styleguides und Glossaries

The following styleguides and the English-German glossaries aim to increase consistency in German or English in all THWS publications or media. They enable uniform external communications. Additionally, they provide the reader with terms and their translation used at THWS.

English

As a rule all English texts shall use the British variety of English. Deviations are only possible for valid reason. The THWS Department of Public Affairs and Communications (HSK) asks to be informed if another variety of English is used and will try to consider this variety in its own publications, if possible.
