Aside from the 1,500 trendy phrases, Tibet has been slowly and gradually collecting new words and phrases since 2002 and then translating them. By the end of 2014, there were at least 69,000 translated terms released.

Last year, 10 seminars on translation and examination of the new terms were conducted. During these seminars, translation experts were tasked to work out new phrases by utilizing already available Tibetan vocabulary.
