# unfoldingWord® Translation Words
|
||
|
||
This is the repository for the [unfoldingWord® Translation Words (UTW)](https://www.unfoldingword.org/utw) resource.
|
||
|
||
## Description
|
||
|
||
UTW is a basic Bible lexicon that provides translators with clear, concise definitions and translation suggestions for every important word in the Bible. It provides translators and checkers with essential lexical information to help them make the best possible translation decisions.
|
||
|
||
## Downloading
|
||
|
||
If you want to download UTW to use, go here: [https://www.unfoldingword.org/utw](https://www.unfoldingword.org/utw). UTW is also included in [tS](http://ufw.io/ts) and [tC](http://ufw.io/tc).

||
## Improving the tWs
|
||
|
||
Please use the [issue queue](https://git.door43.org/unfoldingWord/en_tw/issues) to provide feedback or suggestions for improvement.
|
||
|
||
If you want to make your suggested changes then you may use the online editor to do so. See the [protected branch workflow](https://forum.ccbt.bible/t/protected-branch-workflow/76) document for step by step instructions.
|
||
|
||
## Structure
|
||
|
||
The tWs are organized into three sub directories under `bible`.
|
||
|
||
* `kt` is for “key terms” in the Bible which we consider to be of first importance.
|
||
* `other` terms, these are still important but not critical.
|
||
* `names` is where we’ve grouped proper names.
