Several resources have been added under subsequent phases. A dictionary of 10,000 sports terms has been added as well as tools for translation memories and other resources for translators including a link facility to The New Corpus for Ireland.
Phase IV (2011–14) of the project had the following objectives:
- To implement a new domain hierarchy, based on DANTERM (the Danish terminology standard);
- To create definitions for some terms;
- To compile a new dictionary of arts terms;[1]
- To complete the new dictionary of sports terms;[2]
- Publication of a CD-ROM version of the database;
- To develop a mobile web version.
In 2015, the site was moved from focal.ie to tearma.ie, to better distinguish it from focloir.ie, a separate government-supported website with general-purpose English-Irish dual-language dictionaries.[3][4]
